This volume offers a comprehensive overview of our understanding of gravity at both the experimental and the theoretical level. Critical reviews by experts cover topics ranging from astrophysics (anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background, gamma ray bursts, neutron stars and astroparticles), cosmology, the status of gravitational wave sources and detectors, verification of Newton''s law at short distances, the equivalence principle, gravito-magnetism, measurement theory, time machines and the foundations of Einstein''s theory, to string theory and loop quantum gravity.

This volume covers topics ranging from the early universe, cosmology, inflation, quantum gravity, exact solutions and computer-aided computations to space and terrestrial gravity experiments, with special emphasis on recent research.

This second workshop on constraint theory aims at reviewing the developments that have taken place in the theory of singular Lagrangians and Dirac-Bergmann Hamiltonian constraints as well as their quantization. Since this theory lies behind all special and general relativistic systems, the topics covered here naturally range from mathematical physics to relativistic system particles, strings and fields and further to general relativity. The variety of topics discussed makes this an important, interesting and informative book.
