A classical excellent work in mathematical general relativity （2008-11-26）
This book is now a classic, but the book of Stephen Hawking is the more elegant one on modern General Relativity and will be used for many years to come and is certainly one of the most widely quoted in the subject.
It covers in brilliant form the gravitational collapse of a star, the theory of black holes, the space-time singularities, the causal structure of space-time, and in its end the initial singularity of the universe, popularly known as the Big Bang. The book is highly mathematical, and is presupposed that the reader have studied basic abstract algebra and point set topology. But, for the readers highly interested in these subjects, this is not an obstacle. All theoretical physicists interested in modern General Relativity should have this book, a testimony of the Genius of Stephen Hawking. Definitively, a magnificent book.

エレガントな本です。 （2004-02-26）
宇宙論と星という重力場の方程式の典型的な問題がカバーされています。古典論に由来する構造的な問題を纏めて扱った本としては、とても面白い内容です。ただし、読むためには微分多様体の初歩的な知識と、式の展開をトレースための腕力が要求されます。２５年前に使った教科書ですが、なくしたのでまた買ってしまいました。もし、これから重力場の勉強を始めるのであれば、まず、Diracの教科書などを一通り読んでから、本書を読むことをお勧めします。
