I have just ordered (actually, my wife did, but she has yet to realize this :biggrin:) this new, comprehensive, advanced book on special relativity. From the content (check the above links for more details), this seems to be an amazing book. Some of the material can be transferred wholesale to frame in general relativity.



1 Minkowski Spacetime

2 Worldlines and Proper Time

3 Observers

4 Kinematics 1

5 Kinematics 2

6 Lorentz Group

7 Lorentz Group as a Lie Group

8 Inertial Observers and Poincare Group

9 Energy and Momentum

10 Angular Momentum

11 Principle of Least Action

12 Accelerated Observers

13 Rotating Observers

14 Tensors and Alternate Forms

15 Fields on Spacetime

16 Integration in Spacetime

17 Electromagnetic Field

18 Maxwell Equations

19 Energy–Momentum Tensor

20 Energy–Momentum of the Electromagnetic Field

21 Relativistic Hydrodynamics

22 What About Relativistic Gravitation?
