Einstein’s general theory of relativity -currently our best theory of gravity is important not only to specialists, but to a much wider group of physicists. This short introductory textbook on general relativity and gravitation offers students glimpses of the vast landscape of science connected to general relativity, it incorporates some of the latest research in gravitational theory and experiment. The book is aimed at readers with a broad range՝ of interests in physics, from cosmology, to gravitational radiation, to high energy physics, to condensed matter theory. The pedagogical approach is “physics first’’: readers move very quickly to the calculation of observational predictions, and only return to the mathematical foundations after the՝ physics is established. In addition to standard topics covered by most introductory textbooks, it contains short introductions to mon՝ advanced topics: for instance, how to treat gravitational energy. A concluding chapter discusses directions for further study. After seven years as a printer, editor, factory worker, and activist, Steven Garlip attended graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin, where he earned his Fh.I). Following a stint as a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute lor Advanced Study in Princeton, he joined the՝ faculty of the University of California at Davis, where he has remained since. His main research focus is quantum gravity, but ht՝ has also worked on classical general relativity, quantum field theory, and the interface between physics and topology.
