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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous bargain for a monumental classic *by C***C on Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2017* Although I had a paperback copy of the original W.H. Freeman release, the remarkable price of about $50 for this new hardcover 2017 version from Princeton University Press was too tempting to pass up. To anyone else considering this purchase, be assured that the quality of the book has been completely retained - paper, type, construction, etc. - also the heft of the book.The new foreword by David Kaiser lays out the history of the original, and also how this new edition came about.The new preface by Messrs. Misner and Thorne gives some additional background of the work and also a chapter-by-chapter commentary on how advances in the gravitation field have impacted the material.In summary, for a prospective purchaser of this monumental classic, this new 2017 Princeton University Press edition is the runaway top choice for quality AND price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New hardcopy edition is beautiful! *by F*** on Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2017* The book was originally published by Freeman in 1973, a great event in the publishing history.Since then Gravitation has become a unique resource for anyone interested in learning generalrelativity and spacetime physics. One of authors Kip Thorne has just won the Nobel Prize in physicslast week for his groundbreaking work in gravitational wave detection. But in my view, all the three authorsdeserved a Nobel Prize long ago for writing such a wonderful book. There is no need to repeathow wonderful this book is, but it worth menntioning that I am now particularly happy with the newHARDCOPY issued by Princeton University press, the book is made beautifully in terms ofbinding and printing quality, and importantly, the price is low enough to make it available toall young students who wish to read this great book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gravitation - Relativity: The Special and the General Theory - 100th Anniversary Edition --- ## 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.pe/products/1698919-gravitation](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/1698919-gravitation) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
