Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, Volume 6, Issue 2. `Review from previous edition Well-written and well-presented text which will appeal to both specialists and non-specialists.' Aslib Book Guide `As in earlier editions, the book nicely occupies the gap between popular texts and those that grapple with a full general relativistic approach; it provides just about the right level of numerical and mathematical detail for an introductory course at, say, first- or second-year undergraduate level [...] a handy little book.'
