This book on Einstein's theory of gravity uses throughout the modern formalism and notation of differential geometry, and fully documents the revolutionary techniques developed in recent years to test the theory of general relativity. Among the topics treated in depth are relativistic stars and star clusters and their possible roles in pulsars and quasars, recent developments in cosmology, gravitational collapse and black holes, and the generation, propagation, and detection of gravitational waves.
