Relativistic cosmology has in recent years become one of the most exciting and active branches of current research. In conference after conference the view is expressed that cosmology today is where particle physics was forty years ago, with major discoveries just waiting to happen. Also gravitational wave detectors, presently under construction or in the testing phase, promise to open up an entirely novel field of physics.
It is to take into account such recent developments, as well as to improve the basic text, that this second edition has been undertaken. The most affected is the last part on cosmology, but there are smaller additions, corrections, and additional exercises throughout.
The books basic purpose is to make relativity come alive conceptually. Hence the emphasis on the foundations and the logical subtleties rather than on the mathematics or the detailed experiments per se. Aided by some 300 exercises, the book promotes a deep understanding and the confidence to tackle any fundamental relativistic problem.

Up for purchase is a brand-new, factory-sealed copy of "Relativity: Special, General, and Cosmological" (Second Edition) by the legendary physicist and professor Wolfgang Rindler (1924-2019). Published by the prestigious Oxford University Press, this masterfully structured text remains a landmark volume in core modern relativity and graduate-level physics instruction. Condition Report: This textbook is entirely brand new, unread, and unopened. It remains completely protected in its original publisher's factory shrink wrap. The volume boasts exceptionally sharp, pointed corners, clean edges, and a completely tight, uncreased spine. It has been flawlessly preserved and represents an investment-grade copy ideal for physics scholars, students, and academic book collectors. About the Book: Written by Wolfgang Rindler?famed for his groundbreaking work in general relativity and the introduction of 'Rindler coordinates'?this text provides a beautifully clear and logically comprehensive introduction to Einstein's theories. The volume systematically explores special relativity, general relativity, and their deep consequences for modern physical cosmology. Rindler expertly balances mathematical rigor with deep physical insight, guiding the reader through tensor calculus, gravitational field equations, black holes, and the large-scale mechanics of the universe. Widely praised for its elegant exposition and clarity, this Oxford text is a standard syllabus fixture across elite universities worldwide.
