<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This book is a thorough introduction to general relativity for advanced students, including complete derivations of important results.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>General relativity is a cornerstone of modern physics, and is of major importance in its applications to cosmology. Plebanski and Krasinski are experts in the field and provide a thorough introduction to general relativity, guiding the reader through complete derivations of the most important results. Providing coverage from a unique viewpoint, geometrical, physical and astrophysical properties of inhomogeneous cosmological models are all systematically and clearly presented, allowing the reader to follow and verify all derivations. Many topics are included that are not found in other textbooks.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"... an impressive and coherent account of many aspects of contemporary General Relativity theory." <br />Contemporary Physics<br><br>"... A fairly comprehensive treatise in the field of relativity and cosmology. It covers topics seldom or never seen in textbooks of this kind and is therefore valuable for researchers." <br />Sigbjorn Hervik, Mathematical Reviews<br><br>...an excellent high-level textbook that includes a number of topics that are not to be readily found elsewhere. I recommend it very highly for students who have studied General Relativity already... and who would like to gain a deeper mathematical insight into the subject. <br />Alan Heavens, The Observatory<br>
