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.  aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed on Apr. 19, 2012).  aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 0aQuantum gravity.08iPrint versionz9780199585205 0aInternational series of monographs on physics ;vno. 155.403Oxford scholarship onlineuhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199585205.001.0001  c38186d38186
