A First Course in General Relativity
"Schutz has done a masterful job of incorporating ... new developments into a revised edition, which is sure to become a new "classic."  I look forward to teaching out of the second edition of "first course."Clifford M Will, McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences, Washington University, St Louis"This new edition retains all of the original's clarity and insight into the mathematical foundations of general relativity, but thoroughly updates the accounts of the application of the theory in astrophysics and cosmology, which have moved on considerably ... The result is an indispensable volume for anyone wishing to develop a deep and physically well-motivated understanding of relativistic gravitation, and this new edition will no doubt become a classic text in its own right."Mike Hobson, Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge"Schutz has updated his eminently readable and eminently teachable A First Course in General Relativity.  The result maintains the style of the first edition -- intuitively and physically motivated presentation of the subject. ... This text will be appreciated by any upper level undergraduate with an interest in cosmology, astrophysics, or experimentation in gravitational physics."Richard Matzner, The Center for Relativity, University of Texas at Austin"Well laid out, developing logically and amply illustrated. Absolutely recommended."Times Higher Education Supplement
