Overview
- Includes all the information on gravitational
- interactions that any Physics graduate should possess
- Written in the informal and self-contained
- style of class lectures
- All computations are explicitly carried out in the main text
- Covers topics of crucial importance to modern theories of fundamental interactions that are absent from most textbooks on classical general relativity
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About the author
Maurizio Gasperini is Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Physics Department of the University of Bari, Italy. He has already published six books with Springer and is the author of more than 200 publications on gravitational theory, high-energy physics, and cosmology. He has twice won an "Award for Essays on Gravitation" from the Gravity Research Foundation (1996 and 1998). His former posts include a permanent position in the Department of Theoretical Physics at the University of Turin and three appointments as Scientific Associate at CERN, Theory Division (1993, 1996, and 2005). Here, in collaboration with Gabriele Veneziano, he formulated and developed an early-cosmology scenario based on the symmetries of string theory.
