This book is aimed at students making the transition from a first course on general relativity to a specialized subfield. It presents a variety of topics under the general headings of gravitational waves in vacuo and in a cosmological setting, equations of motion, and black holes, all having clear physical relevance and a strong emphasis on space–time geometry. Each chapter could be used as the basis for an early postgraduate project for those who are exploring avenues into research in general relativity, and who have already accumulated the technical knowledge required.
