This volume is made up of papers presented at the Conference on Classical General Relativity held at the City University, London, in December 1983. New tests, arising from space experimentation, pulsars and black holes have revitalised the study of Einstein's theory of gravitation (classical general relativity). Nineteen contributors survey recent progress and identify future avenues of research.

"Wald's book is clearly the first textbook on general relativity with a totally modern point of viewand it succeeds very well where others are only partially successful. The book includes full discussions of many problems of current interest which are not treated in any extant book, and all these matters are considered with perception and understanding."--S. Chandrasekhar "A 'tour de force': lucid, straightforward, mathematically rigorous, exacting in the analysis of the theory in its physical aspect."--L. P. Hughston, 'Times Higher Education Supplement' "Truly excellent. . . . A sophisticated text of manageable size that will probably be read by every student of relativity, astrophysics, and field theory for years to come."--James W. York, 'Physics Today'

The 33 essays in this volume together provide a valuable overview of the progress towards a theory of quantum gravity, and offer succinct treatment of: quantum field theory in curved space-times, supergravity, cosmology, black holes, quantum geometry, supersymmetry and related phenomena.
