Lectures On Non-perturbative Canonical Gravity

Notes prepared in Collaboration with Ranjeet S Tate
It is now generally recognized that perturbative field theoretical methods that have been highly successful in the quantum description of non-gravitational interactions cannot be used as a means of constructing a quantum theory of gravity. The primary aim of the book is to present an up- to-date account of a non-perturbative, canonical quantizati...
