The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time
Hawking, Stephen W. (University of Cambridge) / Ellis, George F. R. (University of Cape Town)
First published in 1973, this influential work discusses Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, exploring its predictions relating to black holes and singularities in space-time. A Foreword contributed by Abhay Ashtekar and a new Preface from George Ellis help put the volume into context given the subsequent developments in the field.
