Recenzii
'Throughout, the text is well written and the presentation is easy to follow … The content is presented in full formal rigour, as appropriate for such a book. The text is in the style of a monograph, referenced to scientific publications throughout and supported by a number of black-and-white figures. It can be recommended to readers on the level of advanced undergraduates and above, either to accompany a course in gravitational physics, or for other studies of gravitation in the frame of general relativity with a special focus on possible and actually performed tests, their experimental implementation, and their implications for theory.' Manuel Vogel, Contemporary Physics
'As a leading researcher in this field for some 50 years and the author of many pedagogical and review papers the author is extraordinarily well-qualified to write such a book … The writing is clear and readable, and there are extensive references to the original literature for those wanting to explore further … this book is an invaluable survey and reference for those wishing to delve further.' Jonathan Thornburg, The Observatory
