Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2012. 1 online resource. International series of monographs on physics ; no. 155 Previous ed.: 2007. The search for a quantum theory of the gravitational field is one of the great open problems in theoretical physics. This book presents a self-contained discussion of the concepts, methods and applications that can be expected in such a theory, unifying quantum theory with Einstein's theory of general relativity.
