Aside from the statement that it should be capable of unifying general relativity and quantum field theory, little is known about the nature of quantum gravity. This book covers non-commutative geometry, space-time discretization and more.

From the reviews: "This volume contains the extended proceedings of the Summer School: New Paths Towards Quantum Gravity held in Holbaek, in Denmark. ... I really recommend this book for your personal library. It is one of the most physics books I have been in contact in the last years."
