Springer,2010,153 p. Addressing graduate students and researchers
in theoretical physics and mathematics, this book presents a new
formulation of the theory of gravity. In the new approach the
gravitational field has the same ontology as the electromagnetic,
strong, and weak fields. In other words it is a physical field
living in Minkowski spacetime. Some necessary new mathematical
concepts are introduced and carefully explained. Then they are used
to describe the deformation of geometries, the key to describing
the gravitational field as a plastic deformation of the Lorentz
vacuum. It emerges after further analysis that the theory provides
trustworthy energy-momentum and angular momentum conservation laws,
a feature that is normally lacking in General Relativity.

Springer Science+Business Media, 2011, 624 pages From the infinitesimal scale of particle physics to the cosmic scale of the universe, research is concerned with the nature of mass. While there have been spectacular advances in physics during the past century, mass still remains a mysterious entity at the forefront of current research. Our current perspective on gravitation has arisen over millennia, through the contemplation of falling apples,...

Springer, 2011, 159 pages 1946 is the year Bryce DeWitt entered Harvard graduate school. Quantum Gravity was his goal and remained his goal throughout his lifetime until the very end. The pursuit of Quantum Gravity requires a profound understanding of Quantum Physics and Gravitation Physics. As G. A. Vilkovisky commented , "Quantum Gravity is a combination of two words, and one should know both. Bryce understood this as nobody else, and this wi...
