Relativistic cosmology has in recent years become one of the most
exciting and active branches of current research. In conference
after conference the view is expressed that cosmology today is
where particle physics was forty years ago, with major discoveries
just waiting to happen. Also gravitational wave detectors,
presently under construction or in the testing phase, promise to
open up an entirely novel field of physics. It is to take into
account such recent developments, as well as to improve the basic
text, that this second edition has been undertaken. The most
affected is the last part on cosmology, but there are smaller
additions, corrections, and additional exercises throughout. The
books basic purpose is to make relativity come alive conceptually.
Hence the emphasis on the foundations and the logical subtleties
rather than on the mathematics or the detailed experiments per se.
Aided by some 300 exercises, the book promotes a deep understanding
and the confidence to tackle any fundamental relativistic problem.
