"This monograph carefully documents the different formulations of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, and gives valuable insight into the very nature of gravity. Cartan's geometry of fibre bundles and differential forms are placed at the forefront, and a detailed review of …
Based around a course that the author has been teaching for many years, this modern textbook introduces the reader to the general theory of relativity using an example-based approach, before describing its most important applications in cosmology and astrophysics, such as gamma-…
Spacetime and Geometry is an introductory textbook on general relativity, specifically aimed at students. Using a lucid style, Carroll first covers the foundations of the theory and mathematical formalism, providing an approachable introduction to what can often be an intimidati…
Gravitation
by Thorne, Kip S., Misner, Charles W., Kaiser, David I., Wheeler, John Archibald
First published in 1973, Gravitation is a landmark graduate-level textbook that presents Einstein's general theory of relativity and offers a rigorous, full-year course on the physics of gravitation. Upon publication, Science called it "a pedagogic masterpiece," and it has since…
