Covering all aspects of gravitation in a contemporary style, this advanced textbook is ideal for graduate students and researchers in all areas of theoretical physics. The 'Foundation' section develops the formalism in six chapters, and uses it in the next four chapters to discuss four key applications - spherical spacetimes, black holes, gravitational waves and cosmology.
When Research Goes Off the Rails: Why It Happens and What You Can Do About It
Few behavioral or health science studies proceed seamlessly. This refreshingly candid guide presents firsthand vignettes of obstacles on the bumpy road of research and offers feasible, easy-to-implement solutions. Contributors from a range of disciplines describe real-world problems at each stage of a quantitative or qualitative research project—from gaining review board approval to collecting and analyzing data—and discuss how these problems were resolved.

The purpose of this book is to present and discuss current trends and issues in technology-enhanced learning from a European research perspective. Being a multifaceted and multidisciplinary topic, technology-enhanced learning is considered from four different viewpoints, each of which constitutes a separate part in the book. Parts include general as well as domain-specific principles of learning that have been found to play a significant role in technology-enhanced environments, ways to shape the environment to optimize learners’ interactions and learning, and specific technologies used by the environment to empower learners. A postface part is included to discuss the work presented in the preceding parts from a computer science and an implementation perspective. This chapter introduces the origin of the work presented in this book and gives an overview of each of the parts.
As a student, and in any profession based on your studies, good oral communication skills are essential. It is therefore extremely important to develop your ability to converse, to discuss, to argue persuasively, and to speak in public. This is one reason why, whatever subject you study, you will be encouraged to discuss your work in seminars and you will have opportunities to give short talks or presentations. Most people probably take for granted their ability to speak; not thinking much about it until the have to address an audience, or attend an important interview...
