Gravitation By Charles W. Misner Kip S. Thorne And John Archibald Wheeler Here

It is an essential rite of passage for any serious student of gravity. Even if you use a sleeker, modern textbook for class, MTW stays on your desk as the ultimate reference.

No book is perfect. For all its brilliance, MTW has aged in specific ways. It is an essential rite of passage for

The book's continued relevance is a testament to the authors' insight and foresight in writing a comprehensive and authoritative treatise on gravitation. As a result, "Gravitation" has become an essential part of the education of physicists and researchers around the world. For all its brilliance, MTW has aged in specific ways

The 1973 edition is still in print and still selling . Why? Because the physics hasn't changed. General relativity is a classical field theory. The mathematics of curved spacetime was frozen in 1915. A book written in 1973 about a theory from 1915 is just as accurate today as it was then—unless you care about dark energy (which isn't covered) or loop quantum gravity (which doesn't exist).
