Proofs from Oriti's QG book available in PDF

[marcus]

Cambridge press says available as of around 1 March, so in a couple of months.
Samples are available of page proofs as they will, I gather, appear in the book.
Here's the 3-page table of contents

Here's an 11-page exerpt

Here's the 4-page index

So you can see, for example, how much of the book is about category theory, or how many pages are about Chern-Simons theory. Or any other topic. A book's index says a lot about it.

There are some other sample pages...the menu of samples from the book is here:

Oriti's 5-page preface is in the section called "frontmatter" which also has other stuff.

I do not found Mark's Hadley theory.
But Ambjorn is here. That's OK.

Thank you for sharing this information about Oriti's QG book. It's great to see that Cambridge Press is making the proofs available in PDF format. This will allow readers to get a preview of the content before the book is officially released. The table of contents, excerpt, and index provide a good overview of the topics covered in the book. It's interesting to see that category theory and Chern-Simons theory are prominent topics. The preface and other frontmatter sections will also give readers a better understanding of the book's background and purpose. I appreciate the link to the menu of samples, which allows readers to access more information about the book. Overall, it seems like this book will be a valuable resource for those interested in quantum gravity.
