World Scientific, 1991. — 325 p. — Series: Advanced Series in Astrophysics and Cosmology ISBN10: 9810205740 ISBN13: 978-9810205744 ". provides an excellent, up-to-date account of his reformulation of general relativity and of the new approaches to canonical quantum gravity that it has suggested. The book is well organized and well written. is very successful in achieving its...
Adam Higler Ltd., 1984. — 497 p. The 33 essays in this volume together provide a valuable overview of the progress towards a theory of quantum gravity, and offer succinct treatment of quantum field theory in curved space-times, supergravity, cosmology, black holes, quantum geometry, supersymmetry and related phenomena.
World Scientific, 2005. — 386 p. Three key aspects of quantum gravity are considered in this book: phenomenology, potential experimental aspects and foundational theory. The phenomenology is the treatment of metric quantum fluctuations as torsional curves that deviate from classical expectations. This leads to possible experimental configurations that may detect such fluctuations....
Springer, 1994. — 377 p. The search for a quantum gravity theory, a theory expected to combine the principles of general relativity and quantum theory, has led to some of the most deepest and most difficult conceptual and mathematical questions of modern physics. The present book, addressing these issues in the framework of recent versions of canonical quantization, is the first...
Cambridge University Press, 2000. - 321 pp.
Loop representations (and the related topic of knot theory) are of considerable current interest because they provide a unified arena for the study of the gauge invariant quantization of Yang-Mills theories and gravity, and suggest a promising approach to the eventual unification of the four fundamental forces. This text provides a...

This volume is composed of extensive and detailed notes from the lectures given at the 40th Karpacz Winter School. This school focussed on quantum gravity phenomenology with emphasis on its relation...
Draft version,30 December 2003, 347 p. The problem of quantum gravity has many aspects. Ideas and results are scattered in the literature. In this book I have attempted to collect the main results and to present an overall perspective on quantum gravity, as developed during this period. The point of view is personal and the choice of subjects is determined by my own interests....
Cambridge University Press, 2007 — 488 pp. — (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics). — ISBN: 9780521715966. Quantum gravity poses the problem of merging quantum mechanics and general relativity, the two great conceptual revolutions in the physics of the twentieth century. The loop and spinfoam approach, presented in this book, is one of the leading research programs in...
Albert-Einstein-Institut (Germany), 2002. — 92 p. OCR
Quantum General Relativity (QGR), sometimes called Loop Quantum Gravity, has matured over the past fifteen years to a mathematically rigorous candidate quantum field theory of the gravitational field. The features that distinguish it from other quantum gravity theories are 1) background independence and 2) minireality of...
