Claus Kiefer has been a Professor at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Cologne, Germany since 2001.
`Review from previous edition This book maintains a high level of
clarity throughout, and is written with admirable patience. It will
be found very useful by a beginning researcher in quantum gravity
who wants to have a comprehensive overview of the subject. Equally
well, senior researchers in the field will find it a handy
reference for standard analyses of various aspects of the
subject.'
General Relativity and Gravitation
`A clear exposition of the fundamental concepts of gravity... an
extensive review of the subject.
'
Journal of Classical and Quantum Gravity
`Suitable for the expert who wants an overview of the
state-of-the-art, as well as the novice looking for an introduction
to one of the most spellbinding subjects in theoretical physics
today.'
