GENERAL RELATIVITY AND GRAVITATION
Proceedings of the 17th International Conference
RDS Convention Centre, Dublin 18 - 23 July 2004
edited by Petros Florides (Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland), Brien Nolan (Dublin City University, Ireland) & Adrian Ottewill (University College Dublin, Ireland)
This authoritative volume provides a snapshot of the state of the art in gravitational physics and related mathematical fields, as well as a review of recent achievements and prospects for future work. With contributing authors among the world leaders in their respective fields, this proceedings volume is a worthy addition to this conference series, which constitutes one of the most important international meetings in the areas general relativity and gravitation.
