General Relativity provides an unusually broad survey of the current state of this field. Chapters on mathematical relativity cover many topics, including initial value problems, a new approach to the partial differential equations of physics, and work on exact solutions. The chapters on relativistic cosmology and black holes explore cosmology. Other chapters deal with gravitational waves, experimental relativity, quantum gravity, and aspects of computing in relativity. The book will be useful both to postgraduates and to established workers in the field.

This volume contains the courses on General Relativity delivered at the 46th Scottish Universities Summer School in Physics, held at Aberdeen in July 1995. The courses were given by acknowledged experts in their field. The book is thus aimed at postgraduate and postdoctoral students and as such provides an excellent introduction to many areas of the subject, both mathematical and physical.
