This book deals with the relationship between gravitation and
elementary particle physics, and the implications of these subjects
for astrophysics. There has, in recent years, been renewed interest
in theories that connect up gravitation and particle physics, and
in the astrophysical consequences of such theories. Some of these
accounts involve a time-variation of the Newtonian gravitational
parameter, G. In this respect, the present book may be regarded as
a companion to my Cosmology and Geophysics (Hilger, Bristol, 1978).
There is some overlap as regards the discussion of G-variability,
but the emphasis in the present book is on astrophysics while the
emphasis in the other one is on geophysics. The subject is a very
broad one indeed, and in giving a review of it I have adopted a
somewhat unorthodox way of presenting the material involved. The
main reason for this is that a review of such a wide subject should
aim at two levels: the level of the person who is interested in it,
and the level of the person who is professionally engaged in
research into it. To achieve such a two-level coverage, I have
split the text up into two parts. The first part (Chapters 1-7)
represents a relatively non-technical overview of the subject,
while the second part (Chapters 8-11) represents a technical
examination of the most important aspects of non-Einsteinian
gravitational theory and its relation to astrophysics.
