Pouring over pages and pages of this masterpiece, from the foundings of special relativity to the differential geometry that underlies general relativity to the chapters on gravitational waves that portend the era of gravitational wave astronomy we now find ourselves in, you quickly realize that the true beauty of this textbook exists outside its pages. Truly, following the first week of purchase until now (amounting to about two months), I have found that I got my money's worth without ever opening the inky black hard cover of this absolute unit. From its smooth, tactile surface to its brick-like dimensions, I have found so many more uses for Gravitation than I ever gambled for. In the evening, after a long day of drawn-out Zoom calls, Gravitation is the nightstand on which I empty the contents of my pocket or leave other books. Before, my neck would hurt from constantly craning forward to the blue light of my laptop screen. But, with Gravitation, I've found an excellent laptop stand, and my neck hurts no longer. When my wrist hurt from reaching towards that low, low mouse all day, I put the mouse on top of Gravitation and, aghast, found that Misner, Thorne and Wheeler had done it again. This masterful work of theirs healed my ailing wrist. On the occasion I needed to hold my door open, I would find that other textbooks (such as Gravity, by Hartle), never had the disposition to be up for the job. Indeed, the door would simply close anyways, and I would cry, "Why, God? Why haven't you given me a textbook with the sheer mass necessary to hold this door open?" And, I remember that one clear July morning when Gravitation arrived on my doorstep and I felt it in my hands, I knew: my prayers had been answered. Dear friends, I make no higher recommendation than for you to purchase this textbook.

It is a comprehensive introduction to the subject. This fine used paperback copy saved me a lot of money! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Classic in the Field *by A***R on April 13, 2024* The authors Misner, Thorne and Wheeler (MTW) produced a tour de force with this book. A must have for anyone with any interest in physics. The book is weighty in accordance with its name. The illustrations and mathematical details and descriptions are brilliant. At this stage I have read a several early chapters and dipped into later chapters of interest. This is a very solid and dense book due to the material, so not a light quick read despite the excellent explanations of the authors. The book Gravitation is frequently referenced by other books so is great to have it on hand to get a good and detailed explanation of any idea you might read elsewhere. The hard cover version of this book, republished by Princeton University Press (October 24, 2017) is excellent and really does justice to the quality of the work. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gravitation - Spacetime and Geometry: An Introduction to General Relativity - General Relativity --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/49269660-gravitation](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/49269660-gravitation) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
