Review
...an excellent high-level textbook that includes a number of topics that are not to be readily found elsewhere. I recommend it very highly for students who have studied General Relativity already... and who would like to gain a deeper mathematical insight into the subject.
Alan Heavens, The Observatory
"... A fairly comprehensive treatise in the field of relativity and cosmology. It covers topics seldom or never seen in textbooks of this kind and is therefore valuable for researchers."
Sigbjorn Hervik, Mathematical Reviews
"... an impressive and coherent account of many aspects of contemporary General Relativity theory."
