### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beyond expectations but not enough!!!
*by R***J on 10 May 2024*

The book appears daunting at first glance, but once you break it down into appropriate sections, it provides a very understandable presentation of general relativity and motivates its concepts effectively. However, a lingering question remains: How much of this theoretical framework is truly open to empirical testing? General relativity defines geodesic motion in a way that makes deviations from it challenging to even consider. Yet, as both a practical measurement tool and a theoretical system, it is fundamentally grounded in a simple principle: We assume local Lorentzian flatness for space and time, measuring geodesic deviation relative to this assumption to establish a more accurate global geodesic throughout the manifold, accounting for the distorting effects of gravitation.The book contains substantial mathematical content, but it also includes informative diagrams and explanatory boxes that reinforce the material. Each section explains the motivation behind relevant equations and their outcomes in plain language. Additionally, the book delves into the historical development of general relativity, featuring quotes from influential figures like Newton, Einstein, Penrose, Hawking, and Dicke. Overall, I found this logical development easier to follow than what I encountered in Penrose’s Road to Reality, although I now have a deeper appreciation for that work as well and may revisit it. The practical significance and application of general relativity are more transparent, rather than obscured by mystifications related to complex numbers.I need other books to explore more in-depth.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good as a reference
*by D***N on 31 July 2024*

Wouldn’t recommend this to undergrads straight off; the book provides an insight into the topic of GR (general relativity) but before “looking through the eyes of the author” you need to be familiar with the math. Mathematical methods for physicists by George Arfken or Altland would suffice alomg with any of the GR books published by Princeton University Press namely: Einstein Gravity by Zee and then “A first course to General Relativity” by Bernard Schutz is good if you want to dive straight into without referring to any math books. Even better is The one written by Tai Pe Cheng—just brilliant and a very student friendly approach. Also these books are based on a theoretical physics topic: so they’re designed to help you gain insight into various mathematical manifestations. Physicist will let engineers know when their theories can be readily applied to industry and tech per se Hehe.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why to buy
*by S***R on 14 December 2020*

A very very good book for grivtation it is holy book of grivtation it is very useful for students who are interested in research field it is also useful for students who are interested in study of universePrice of book doesn't matter in respect to book content
