Put as simply as possible, this is a book on Einstein's theory of gravity
(general relativity). It is the first textbook on the subject that uses
throughout the modern formalism and notation of differential geometry, and it is
the first book to document in full the revolutionary techniques developed during
the past decade to test the theory of general relativity.
