Recenzii
"This textbook introduces the basics of Einstein’s theory of general relativity and of its astrophysical applications. The first half of the book is dedicated to a pedagogical, self-contained treatment of differential geometry. The second half deals with the structure and stability of compact objects (black holes and neutron stars), the classical tests of general relativity, and gravitational waves. The book is an excellent starting point for students interested in gravitational wave astronomy and relativistic astrophysics, introducing the reader to exciting recent developments, such as the first LIGO/Virgo observations of gravitational waves from the mergers of black holes and neutron stars. The choice of material is well-balanced and it includes important topics which are not usually covered in detail in introductory textbooks, such as black hole perturbation theory and geodesic motion in the Kerr spacetime."
— Dr. Emanuele Berti, Professor, Johns Hopkins University, USA
"At a time when gravitational physics is at the center of many new scientific discoveries, there are many textbooks initiating students to the beauty of General Relativity. Yet, it is hard to find a book that manages so admirably to combine the introductory material with the more advanced topics. Written with skilled perspective of experts who have been teaching these topics for many years, the book provides the novice with a systematic and complete picture of what is arguably the most fascinating theory in physics. At the same time, the book does also offer a detailed account of more advanced and modern topics in relativistic astrophysics such as black holes, compact stars, and gravitational waves. The result is a self-contained and invaluable source for anyone interested in General Relativity. Highly recommended for students and teachers alike."
