Which one of these books on General Relativity would you recommend?

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking an introductory text on General Relativity with a background in physics, several recommendations emerged. Groen and Hervik's "Einstein's General Theory of Relativity" and Hobson's "General Relativity: An Introduction for Physicists" were mentioned as solid choices. Additionally, McGlinn's "Introduction to Relativity" was noted, although there was uncertainty about its availability in local libraries. Hartle's "Gravity" was also recommended as an excellent resource for understanding the concepts of General Relativity.

Hobson. General Relativity: An Introduction for Physicists

McGlinn, W.D. Introduction to Relativity

Is that what's in the local library, or do you get a special deal on those? I haven't seen any of those. I'd recommend Hartle, Gravity.
