The proceedings of the First Iberian Meeting on Gravity give a broad view of the most recent research on gravity. Black hole thermodynamics, wormhole solutions and covariant path integral quantization are some of the topics discussed. The mainstream approaches to quantum gravity, such as loop space quantization and string theories, are presented. Also included are the trendy subjects of two-dimensional quantum gravity and unitary matrix models.
