100 years of general relativity / George F.R. Ellis -- Was Einstein right?: a centenary assessment / Clifford M. Will -- Cosmology / David Wands, Misao Sasaki, Eiichiro Komatsu, Roy Maartens and Malcolm A.H. MacCallum -- Relativistic astrophysics / Peter Schneider, Ramesh Narayan, Jeffrey E. McClintock, Peter Mészáros and Martin J. Rees -- Receiving gravitational waves / Beverly K. Berger, Karsten Danzmann, Gabriela Gonzalez, Andrea Lommen, Guido Mueller, Albrecht Rüdiger and William Joseph Weber -- Sources of gravitational waves: theory and observations / Alessandra Buonanno and B.S. Sathyaprakash -- Probing strong field gravity through numerical simulations / Frans Pretorius, Matthew W. Choptuik and Luis Lehner -- The initial data and the Einstein constraint equations / Gregory J. Galloway, Pengzi Miao and Richard Schoen -- Global behavior of solutions to Einstein's equations / Stefanos Aretakis, James Isenberg, Vincent Moncrief and Igor Rodnianski -- Quantum fields in curved space-times / Stefan Hollands and Robert M. Wald -- From general relativity to quantum gravity / Abhay Ashtekar, Martin Reuter and Carlo Rovelli -- Quantum gravity via supersymmetry and holography / Henriette Elvang and Gary T. Horowitz.

Explore spectacular advances in cosmology, relativistic astrophysics, gravitational wave science, mathematics, computational science, and the interface of gravitation and quantum physics with this unique celebration of the centennial of Einstein's discovery of general relativity. Twelve comprehensive and in-depth reviews, written by a team of world-leading international experts, together present an up-to-date overview of key topics at the frontiers of these areas, with particular emphasis on the significant developments of the last three decades. Interconnections with other fields of research are also highlighted, making this an invaluable resource for both new and experienced researchers. Commissioned by the International Society on General Relativity and Gravitation, and including accessible introductions to cutting-edge topics, ample references to original research papers, and informative colour figures, this is a definitive reference for researchers and graduate students in cosmology, relativity, and gravitational science.
