Towards Quantum Gravity [E-Book] : Proceeding of the XXXV International Winter School on Theoretical Physics Held in Polanica, Poland, 2–11 February 1999 / edited by Jerzy Kowalski-Glikman.
The aim of this book is to give graduate students an overview of quantum gravity but it also covers related topics from astrophysics. Some well-written contributions can serve as an introduction into basic conceptual concepts like time in quantum gravity or the emergence of a classical world from qu...
