Gravitation by Misner or something similar

[TonyEsposito]

I was looking for this book but it appear that is out of print and the only copies available are very expansive, so what book would you recommend on GR? I mean, i want some in-depth textbook.
Thanks! ;)

How about a more recent book like this one from Zee?

Zee is good.

If you have no previous experience with the mathematics of general relativity, I'd recommend starting with Schutz.

Ah ok, i was eyeballing the book from Zee! I'm reading right now a book about tensor calculus and another book on differential forms. What about the book from Sean Carroll?

What about the book from Sean Carroll?

I liked the notes Carroll's book started out as before the book was published. If he mostly added to those without changing the presentation much, then it's probably fine.

I recently purchased the book by Hobson and going through it - I really like it.

Don't buy the paperback ;)

Although this is no replacement for a book, I would also recommend watching the following video assuming you know calculus and are familiar with Special Relativity. It goes so well until 1:38:53 and then it is bit rushed. Great intro nonetheless.
followed by the following lectures (expect a lot of hand waving).


You could also refer to the following notes (Caroll)
