Infos

This 3-volume set includes up-to-date results in relativity theory, including their influence in cosmology and theories of classical and quantum gravity. This is provided by reprints of papers from the journal "General Relativity and Gravitation", together with a preface introducing the inter-relation of these topics. Coverage includes: black holes and gravitational lensing; singularity theorems for Einstein gravity; strings; and Kaluza-Klein cosmological models.
