Product Description
About the Book
This textbook fills a gap in the existing literature on general relativity by providing the advanced student with practical tools for the computation of many physically interesting quantities. The context is provided by the mathematical theory of black holes, one of the most successful and relevant applications of general relativity. Topics covered include congruences of timelike and null geodesics, the embedding of spacelike, timelike and null h…

The book has an interesting selection of topics, which can be used in realistic research problems. Everything is presented very lucidly, with all calculations given in detail. For example, you can learn the Hamiltonian formulation of GR in one day by working through Ch. 4 of the book.

Nice
It's a very good book because if you want to learn black hole alone or I don't know I think calculate something, so it's for you. Moreover, the autor explain very simply the ideas that are difficult sometimes.
Five Stars
It's a good book.
great, concise book on black hole physics
This text is an advanced (graduate level) GR book. You'll need to have worked through an introductory book such as that by Bernard Schutz, "A first course in GR" or Hobson et al. "GR: An intro for physicists" before you can follow Poisson's book. A strong point is that Poisson gets straight to the point. Another unique feature is that detailed references for each subsection are provided that trace the origins of the arguments developed in the chapter. The exercises are challenging but informative. I find it takes some hard work to read this book but the effort is rewarded.
