Not that I am biased but he was my PhD advisor/mentor while at Berkeley in the late 60's and early 70's. He not only did Sachs and Wolfe but was one of the 3 people who laid out a mathematically coherent and invariant theory of gravitational waves (it's easy when linear, not so in full GR). The other 2 were Penrose and Bondi. I have not read his book but he was mathematically precise and rigorous, and physically astute, went to the physical issue, and wrote well (maybe a little concise, but that's the math). He is still around doing math biology | |
