Gravitation (Physics Series)40 reviews
Charles W. Misner, Kip S. Thorne, ...

W. H. Freeman, 1973

Amazing - Not for beginners

+ The best book on General Relativity
+ Gravitation

As a child I used to ask my father "Does space go on forever? And if it doesn't, what is on the otherside??' My father of course had no idea.

Was Einstein Right? 2nd Edition: Putting General Relativity To The Test2 reviews
Clifford M. Will

Basic Books, 1993

Excellent
