Upon publication,\u00a0<i>Science\u00a0<\/i>called it \u201ca pedagogic masterpiece,\u201d and it has since become a classic, considered essential reading for every serious student and researcher in the field of relativity. This authoritative text has shaped the research of generations of physicists and astronomers, and the book continues to influence the way experts think about the subject.<\/p>\n<p>With an emphasis on geometric interpretation, this masterful and comprehensive book introduces the theory of relativity; describes physical applications, from stars to black holes and gravitational waves; and portrays the field\u2019s frontiers. The book also offers a unique, alternating, two-track pathway through the subject. Material focusing on basic physical ideas is designated as Track 1 and formulates an appropriate one-semester graduate-level course. The remaining Track 2 material provides a wealth of advanced topics instructors can draw on for a two-semester course, with Track 1 sections serving as prerequisites.<\/p>\n<p>This must-have reference for students and scholars of relativity includes a new preface by David Kaiser, reflecting on the history of the book\u2019s publication and reception, and a new introduction by Charles Misner and Kip Thorne, discussing exciting developments in the field since the book\u2019s original publication.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The book teaches students\u00a0to:<\/li>\n<li>Grasp the laws of physics in flat and curved\u00a0spacetime<\/li>\n<li>Predict orders of\u00a0magnitude<\/li>\n<li>Calculate using the principal tools of modern\u00a0geometry<\/li>\n<li>Understand Einstein\u2019s geometric framework for\u00a0physics<\/li>\n<li>Explore applications, including neutron stars, Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes, gravitational collapse, gravitational waves, cosmology, and so much\u00a0more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>SOURCE : <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/press.princeton.edu\/books\/hardcover\/9780691177793\/gravitation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/press.princeton.edu\/books\/hardcover\/9780691177793\/gravitation<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AUTHOR\u00a0 Misner, Charles W.
