One Hundred Years of General Relativity

The aim of this two-volume series is to give a comprehensive review of one hundred years of development of general relativity and its scientific influences.


This unique title provides a broad introduction and review to the fascinating and profound subject of general relativity, its historical development, its important theoretical consequences, gravitational wave detection and applications to astrophysics and cosmology.



The series focuses on five aspects of the theory:



Genesis, Solutions and Energy

Empirical Foundations

Gravitational Waves

Cosmology

Quantum Gravity


The first three topics are covered in Volume 1 and the remaining two are covered in Volume 2. While this is a two-volume series, it is designed so that each volume can be a standalone reference volume for the related topic.
