It is a classic book for physics students who want to learn the basics, as well as important advanced topics, on general relativity and cosmology. An excellent investment!

Weinberg's text on Gravitation and Cosmology is a classic text on general relativity. It relies heavily on the formalism of tensor calculus but also effectively communicates the physical picture of the mathematics. It does not, however, spend much time on the differential geometry interpretation of general relativity. Expect to work through the book and equations - it is not for bedtime reading unless you are already thoroughly familiar with the mathematics and only need a brief reminder of the formalism. Highly recommended for those looking to learn general relativity.
I really wanted to have this book, and although it's paperback, the book really supered my expectatives as a student Cheap enough...it makes me happy to have a book like this in my personal library.
