<p>From the reviews: Maurizio Gasperini 's book is a textbook on the theory of general relativity (GR) . Special mention should be made chapters, which deal with the Kasner solution of the Einstein equations in a homogenous but anisotropic medium, with the bridge between the curved Riemannian manifold and the flat tangent space, with quantum theory in a curved space time and with supersymmetry and supergravity. These make the book different from most texts of its kind. In conclusion, I warmly recommend reading this book . (Diego Casadei, Cern Courier, September, 2010)

(Diego Casadei, Cern Courier, September, 2010) This italian-language textbook represents a very carefully composed summary about all topics relevant for a university course in relativity theory and gravitation. Every chapter is closed by a set of exercises with solutions, and useful bibliography and subject index are at the end of this book. (Hans-Jurgen Schmidt, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1189, 2010)
