"Why can't you take Newtonian gravity, add special relativity, and build a relativistic theory of gravity that matches the predictions of our accepted theory, Einstein's general relativity? Ideal for a one-semester course at junior/senior level, this student-friendly text builds on familiar physics to illuminate the structure of general relativity"--
