Table of ContentsReviews'The work is mathematically rigorous and complete. Researchers working in fields such as quantum gravity will find this a very useful reference. Postgraduate students will also find it a helpful adjunct to the usual books on general relativity.' A. Spero, Choice '… in this book Krasnov deals mainly with chiral formulations of four-dimensional general relativity, a topic that usually is not present in most (if not all) of the relevant textbooks, thereby bringing to the forefront the importance of Cartan's calculus of differential forms, the geometry of fibre bundles, but also spinors and (finally) twistors.'
