Synopsis

This book discusses in great detail the best theory of gravitation known to date: Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Based on this theory, Gravitation examines compact objects (including white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes) and gravitational waves, and then explores the importance of relativity in cosmology, the Big Bang and the organization of structure in the universe.

Many practical examples are also provided throughout the book.
