From the reviews of the third edition: "This is the third edition of a book that is already familiar to those who teach an introductory course in general relativity. ... Important concepts are introduced slowly and carefully, so that the resulting text is a comprehensible first introduction that is suitable for both physics and mathematics students. ... its strength is that it is a short introduction to the subject that still covers all the essential material for a first course and provides a sound basis for further study." (J. B. Griffiths, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2006 h) "This book is a well-developed introduction to General Relativity. ... the present third edition is really re-worked in many places in comparison with the previous ones. ... Three appendices are quite helpful ... . Solutions to the exercises, References and Index close this very readable book. ... Every chapter ends with a list of problems ... ." (Hans-Jurgen Schmidt, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1089 (15), 2006)
