These two volumes are the proceedings of a major International Symposium on General Relativity held at the University of Maryland 27 to 29 March 1993 to celebrate the sixtieth birthdays of Professor Charles Misner and Professor Dieter Brill. The volumes cover classical general relativity, quantum gravity and quantum cosmology, canonical formulation and the initial value problem, topology and geometry of spacetime and fields, mathematical and physical cosmology, and Black Hole physics and astrophysics. As invited articles, the papers in these volumes have an aim which goes beyond that of a standard conference proceedings. Not only do the authors discuss the most recent research results in their fields, but many also provide historical perspectives on how their subjects developed and offer individual insights in their search for new directions.

This nontechnical introduction to the theory of gravitation deals with those parts of the theory that are essential to the beginning student of general relativity, giving all the mathematics necessary for understanding the theory. In this revised second edition, the experimental evidence has been updated and the sections on quantum physics have been rewritten and enlarged. Starting with the foundations of Riemannian geometry and the tensor calculus, the author formulates and works out the essential laws of physics in Riemannian space. Next, the Einstein field equations are derived. All important applications of the theory are dealt with, including issues of current importance, in particular the Schwarzschild metric, gravitational waves, gravitational collapse, black holes and cosmological models. All the associated basic physical problems are fully discussed, but many results that draw heavily on mathematics are given without derivation. The relation to observations and the latest numerical results obtained from them is established.
