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.
