This book is incredible, it teaches you and leads you through the authors through ideas that are difficult to understand, Very beautiful finish and excellent
This book is one of the classics of physics, and there's nothing new about it. In fact, it is impressive that a book with a single edition, over 50 years old, is still a must-read reference for the area of cosmology/relativity/atrophysics/etc and that it still remains at the top among the best sellers
i have it but it's heavy and hard to use just save your money and buy the ebook
great book
This is the book that defines the subject of Gravitation.
A Classic in the Field
Much better than I imagined
