Hello,
I've been trying to collect as many resources as possible for (eventually) learning GR on my own. I came across a lot of links to nice e-books from this site and 'Relativity on the www'. My question here is, why does Spacetime physics by Taylor & Wheeler, a paperback with 32 pages cost more than $50. I'm well aware that quality is more important than quantity, but isn't this a "little" too much. I have downloaded a pdf on SR by David W. Hogg. How does this compare to the book mentioned earlier? Does it cover more topics?, the level of mathematics involved etc.
Any info is appreciated, and thanks to Tom Mattson and Gecko for providing all those great links to the lecture notes.
