Excellent binding, Comprehensive Information
Excellent binding and paper quality. The book will last for a long long time. I have read the chapter on Schwarzschild Geometry and skim thought a few other chapters. The material is very comprehensive, perhaps too comprehensive. Nevertheless, it is a very good reference book.

The Holy Bible of Gravitation
- Langue: anglaise - Prérequis: L3/M1 Physique fondamentale, solide bagage mathématique conseillé. - Etat à la réception : impeccable, malgré l'emballage peu précautionneux. - Contenu et lisibilité : édition 2017 impeccable, nouvelle préface indiquant les endroits de l'ouvrage où il faut compléter l'étude par celle d'autres ouvrages plus récents. L'ouvrage sépare son contenu en deux "tracks". Track 1: le contenu est incontournable ; Track 2: contenu complémentaire, à choisir selon les centres d'intérêts de chacun, compréhensibles si tous les Tracks 1 qui le précèdent ont été traités (sauf indication explicite du contraire). Bref c'est la Bible, mais à compléter, bien sûr, par d'autres.
