Starting with a precise formulation of the theory and an account of the necessary background of the theory and an account of the necessary backgroud of differential geometry, the significance of space-time curvature is discussed and the global properties of a number of exact solutions of Einstein’s field equations are examined. The theory of the causal structure of a general spacetime is developed, and is used to study black holes and to prove a number of theorems establishing the inevitability of singularities under certain conditions. These conditions are shown to be satisfied in the vicinity of stars of more than twice the solar mass near the endpoint of their nuclear evolution, and in a time-reversed sense for the universe as a whole. In the first case, the singularity is inside a black hole, and in the second case, it is the initial singularity in our past. A discussion of the Cauchy problem for General Relativity is also included in the book.

内容不用说了，经典中的经典。特别值得一提的是，这本书的印刷很好，感觉湖南科学技术出版社有霍金情节，出版了几本他的书了，而且每本印刷都很好，跟可恶的世界图书出版社的印刷相比，真是相当不错了。

大家之作,虽说我很喜欢,读起来却很费劲.因为是好书

非常经典的一本著作适合学物理的boy欣赏呵呵

收到书才发现，内容实在太专业了，我看不懂，尤其那些公式。但是霍金是我的偶像，所以这本书将用来收藏。

数学概念还是比较清晰的，不过物理概念就有待提高了。印刷比较好，比较容易收藏，感觉对眼睛有保护作用。建议对物理学感兴趣的人看一看。

书的边角有些污痕，因为买来送人的，感觉心里有点疙瘩
