1. As an engineer I feel obligated to keep up to speed with things scientific, and I also have an interest in Physics. This book definitely updates modern Physics to an average reader, and has many interesting stories to supplement the material. It has just the right mix of science, history and math to keep the reader interested. I seriously recommend it to all interested in Physics.

1 comments about Quantum Gravity, Generalized Theory of Gravitation and Superstring Theory-Based Unification.

1. My article appears in this book as well as articles by some of the top people in quantum gravity, genralized theory of gravitation, and super-string based unification (unified field) theory. The Global Foundation, which sponsors the conferences on which the series of books is based, is composed mostly of Nobel Prize winners and comparable level people. It is remarkably innovative and receptive to new ideas - what one would expect from Nobel Prize and comparable people. My own article applies logic-based probability (LBP for short or LEUT) to the above fields. It's a sort of Non-Euclidean geometry version or analogue of mainstream Bayesian conditional probability (BCP)and like Non-Euclidean geometry changes a few small assumptions/axioms/definitions to obtain a new type of mathematics. LBP uses subtraction of probabilities (plus a constant) instead of BCP's division of probabilites, and is much more useful than BCP for rare events and highly influential/highly dependent events. Professor Kursunoglu obtained his Ph.D. in physics under Nobel Laureate Professor Paul Dirac of Cambridge University, England and worked with Albert Einstein. Dirac (now deceased) and Steven Weinberg (also a Nobel Laureate) are the two most creative and influential theoretical physicists of the last 30-40 years, although Weinberg (now at University of Texas Austin) is not with the Global Foundation. The series of books started in the 1950s.

1. I'm a second year astrophysics student from Ireland.
   Recently I've tried to learn the Mathematics of General Relativity in detail, outside of my course and have bought numerous books in the process.
   
   In my opinion this book and "A First Course in General Relativity by Bernard F. Schutz" are perfect complementary texts to learn the main basis of General Relativity on your own.
   
   The author has provided an unbelievable amount of questions and not a single one of them is pointless exercise.
   
   The book is Divided into three sections:
   
   Part 1: Metric description of Space-Time
   Very well written intro to General Relativity which delves into Black Holes and Mercury's Orbit, without the full on Field Equation and Tensors.
   
   Part 2: Cosmology
   Still keeping to the metric description of space-time, cosmology is introduced. The mathematics of concepts like the closed and open universes are explained really well.
   
   Part 3: Full Tensor Formulism
   I was able to learn Tensors from this, using Chapter 3 from Schutz's book as a companion.
   
   The questions at the end of each chapter really test your knowledge and after reading this you will be able to manipulate the field equation for simple cases and move onto more advanced books if you wish.



2. Intermediate level, with clear presentation, lots of graphics and exercises, ideal for self-study. In one word, excellent.
