Review: Comprehensive - I'm working through it now...and it's very good. Very clear explanations that doesn't assume too much from you. I'm a physicist who is now working and I want to understand more about GR. This book covers all of the major aspects of GR and I guess would serve as a good introduction and a springboard for more advanced treatments. I have bought a couple of books that are a little too advanced or not advanced enough.This is the one for me...I demand clarity of explantion when I buy science textbooks. This ticks the box for me
Review: Both very comprehensive and sophisticated - I enjoyed very much reading this book and learned a lot from it. This is a very comprehensive (but still high leveled) introduction to the foundations and applications of Gerneral Relativity. It is written by one of the best experts in this field and can be used by students from the undergraduate level up (and also even by researchers). It is one of the rare books where physical and mathematical aspects are thoroughly presented in an understandable and easy to follow way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gravity
*by A***R on 16 July 2016*

The best book I have read on general theory of relativity. The author eases into cumbersome notation, by first considering simpler metrics. Black holes, pulsars and gravitational waves are included.
