The relation between quantum theory and the theory of
gravitation remains one of the most outstanding unresolved issues
of modern physics. According to general expectation, general
relativity as well as quantum (field) theory in a fixed background
spacetime cannot be fundamentally correct. Hence there should exist
a broader theory comprising both in appropriate limits, i.e.,
quantum gravity. This book gives readers a comprehensive
introduction accessible to interested non-experts to the main
issues surrounding the search for quantum gravity. These issues
relate to fundamental questions concerning the various formalisms
of quantization; specific questions concerning concrete processes,
like gravitational collapse or black-hole evaporation; and the all
important question concerning the possibility of experimental tests
of quantum-gravity effects.
