This book provides a completely revised and expanded version of the previous classic edition ‘General Relativity and Relativistic Astrophysics’. In Part I the foundations of general relativity are thoroughly developed, while Part II is devoted to tests of general relativity and many of its applications. Binary pulsars – our best laboratories for general relativity – are studied in considerable detail. An introduction to gravitational lensing theory is included as well, so as to make the current literature on the subject accessible to readers. Considerable attention is devoted to the study of compact objects, especially to black holes. This includes a detailed derivation of the Kerr s...

With contributions from leading scholars and detailed catalog entries that interpret the spells and painted scenes, this fascinating and important work affords a greater understanding of ancient Egyptian belief systems and poignantly reveals the hopes and fears about the world beyond death.
Christabel was a woman of her times, conceived in a reckless moment of passion, born into splendour but sent out as a baby into the poverty of the Victorian countryside, where runes, spells and folklore survived alongside growing mechanisation in the fields. All was change and turmoil, the ways of the past in conflict with the industrial revolution. Yet her humble childhood could not prevent the honest beauty of her character from emerging, transforming the girl into a complex woman ready to face all that life had to throw at her. She knew nothing of the circumstances of her birth and cared even less for wealth, but a series of events would eventually make her choose between position and helping others of her kind surviving on the edge of starvation. She knew she would die rather than betray her beliefs, yet the people she most helped were often those who caused her most harm. The Angel of Wessex begins in 1877, when a family is destroyed by unnatural folklore. A new legend is created. Beginning on Dartmoor, much of the novel takes place in Dorchester and at Cerne Abbas.

Since 1975, the triennial Marcel Grossmann Meetings have been organized in order to provide opportunities for discussing recent advances in gravitation, general relativity and relativisitic field theories, emphasizing mathematical foundations, physical predictions, and experimental tests.The proceedings of the Seventh Marcel Grossmann Meeting include the invited papers given at the plenary sessions, the summaries of the parallel sessions, the contributed papers presented at the parallel sessions, and the evening public lectures.The authors of these papers discuss many of the recent theoretical, observational, and experimental developments that have significant implications for the fields of physics, cosmology, and relativistic astrophysics.
