Gravitation: an introduction to current research

Witten L. (ed.)

This book represents an attempt to describe recent progress in research associated with various features of gravitation as described by the general theory of relativity. The collection of chapters contained herein is aimed at permitting physicists, engineers, and mathematicians who have already acquired some knowledge of Einstein’s gravitational theory to become familiar with the current trends and status of the theory either as part of their scientific background or as a guide to serious study and active personal participation in the field.
