Hello folks,

I am looking for some good introductions or not much advanced texts about the subject. I have something about massless and massive spin-2 fields and the F-P Lagrangian. But I don't understand it as I would desired.

Have you tried to take a look at Weinberg's "Gravitation and Cosmology"? Somewhere (I think Ch.10) he should build the theory of gravitons which are spin-2 massless fields.
