Thanks for letting me know about this though.

My professors call this the "doorstop". Is this worth buying?

What does that have to do with anything? You're going to need to know classical GR before moving on to quantum GR.

My pleasure

1300 pages of GR well explained, also the price went from 400$ to 60$

True-true. Guess i just wanted to have a chat b-baka

Quantum gravitation has been an albatross around the neck of physics for decades. Truly a dogmatic failure.

A complete non-perturbative theory of QG is going to require some serious form of non-commutative geometry. Something that doesn't exist yet or is maybe currently developing.

How is this compared to Hartle?

Hartle is childs play relatively

This is an excellent book. Read,enjoy and learn heaps! It is not easy, but it is comprehensive and well explained. I bought it 20 years ago for lots of money and it was worth the investment. I did my phd instring theory and agree that it was invaluable to understand the classical world before thinking about quantum stuff.
