Cambridge University Press, 2010, 728 p. Covering all aspects of
gravitation in a contemporary style, this advanced textbook is
ideal for graduate students and researchers in all areas of
theoretical physics. The 'Foundation' section develops the
formalism in six chapters, and uses it in the next four chapters to
discuss four key applications - spherical spacetimes, black holes,
gravitational waves and cosmology. The six chapters in the
'Frontier' section describe cosmological perturbation theory,
quantum fields in curved spacetime, and the Hamiltonian structure
of general relativity, among several other advanced topics, some of
which are covered in-depth for the first time in a textbook. The
modular structure of the book allows different sections to be
combined to suit a variety of courses. Over 200 exercises are
included to test and develop the reader's understanding. There are
also over 30 projects, which help readers make the transition from
the book to their own original research.

Springer Science+Business Media, 2011, 234 pages Based on the concept of a physical system, this book offers a new philosophical interpretation of classical mechanics and the Special Theory of Relativity. According to Belkind’s view the role of physical theory is to describe the motions of the parts of a physical system in relation to the motions of the whole. This approach provides a new perspective into the foundations of physical theory, whe...
