Modern Canonical Quantum General Relativity Hardback (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics) - Tapa dura

'... the most complete account to date of the Hamiltonian approach to the quantization of General Relativity. ... If the exciting possibility of links ... between words of the very small and the very large are realized, then theorists will have to delve much deeper into the structure of quantum gravity than hitherto. This book is a magnificent and comprehensive introduction to one possible avenue. It has no rival.' The Observatory
