Gravitation and Inertia

"Gravitation and Inertia has plenty of useful resources and ideas and it is enjoyable. It covers, sometimes with distinctive originality, topics not easily found in other textbooks. Its charm lies in the interweaving of Wheeler's speculative quest for the physical origin of inertia with Ciufolini's experimental craft. In such interweaving lies the magic of an extraordinarily beautiful science: the science of the shape of space-time."

Klappentext
"This book is an ambitious walking tour through a host of topics in general relativity. It includes a treasure chest of useful references."--Robert Geroch, University of Chicago"Bringing together both the philosophy and the application in one place produces a synergy that vastly increases the value of the work."--Richard Matzner, Director of the Center for Relativity at the University of Texas, Austin

Zusammenfassung
Discusses Einstein"ï ½ï ½ï ½'s geometric theory of gravity. This book explains the understanding of the link between gravitation and inertia in Einstein's theory, from the origin of inertia in some cosmological models of the universe, to the interpretation of the initial value formulation of Einstein's standard geometrodynamics.
