Product Review
an great 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.

Product Description
General relativity is a cornerstone of modern physics, and is of major importance in its applications to cosmology. Plebanski and Krasinski are experts in the field and provide a thorough introduction to general relativity, guiding the reader through complete derivations of the most important results. Providing coverage from a unique viewpoint, geometrical, physical and astrophysical properties of inhomogeneous cosmological models are all systematically and clearly presented, allowing the reader to follow and verify all derivations. Many topics are included that are not found in other textbooks.
