General Relativity and John Archibald Wheeler (Astrophysics and Space Science Library Book 367) 2010th Edition by Ignazio Ciufolini (PDF)

Description

Observational and experimental data pertaining to gravity and cosmology are changing our view of the Universe. General relativity is a fundamental key for the understanding of these observations and its theory is undergoing a continuing enhancement of its intersection with observational and experimental data. These data include direct observations and experiments carried out in our solar system, among which there are direct gravitational wave astronomy, frame dragging and tests of gravitational theories from solar system and spacecraft observations. This book explores John Archibald Wheeler’s seminal and enduring contributions in relativistic astrophysics and includes: the General Theory of Relativity and Wheeler’s influence; recent developments in the confrontation of relativity with experiments; the theory describing gravitational radiation, and its detection in Earth-based and space-based interferometer detectors as well as in Earth-based bar detectors; the mathematical description of the initial value problem in relativity and applications to modeling gravitational wave sources via computational relativity; the phenomenon of frame dragging and its measurement by satellite observations. All of these areas were of direct interest to Professor John A. Wheeler and were seminally influenced by his ideas.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Basically, this book is useless from different points of view.The price is too high and its content is really not new in the sense that several contributionscan be found for free on, e.g., the arXiv database. Moreover, it seems the umpteenth attempt by one of the editors of exploiting the fame of Wheeeler to obtain a personal endorsement. The chapters concerning the LAGEOS and LARES tests of frame-dragging contain material which has been presented, basically almost always in the same way, in several other places, like presentations, slides, talks, pre-prints, papers, all available elsewhere for free on the Internet, or at a much smaller price. From a scientific point of view, they do not contain anything really new and worth buying the book.All in all, I do not recommend it.
