This is a book I have written with Olindo Zanotti<\/a> for Oxford University Press. It containts a good part of what you may want to learn about relativistic hydrodynamics, from the mathematical foundations, over to the numerical methods and the astrophysical applications. A list of typos and the corresponding corrections can be found here<\/a>. Essentially all of them have been fixed in the paperback<\/a> version published in August 2018.\u00a0Endorsements and more information can be found here<\/a> or by clicking on the cover, while you will find some sample material\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Detailed reviews have been published recently on scientific journals, e.g. by N. Stergioulas for Classical and Quantum Gravity<\/a><\/em>,\u00a0 J. M. Stewart for Contemporary Physics<\/em><\/a>, T. Kellermann for Physik Journal<\/a> (in German),\u00a0<\/em> D. Giulini for General Relativity and Gravitation<\/a><\/em>, <\/em>and I. Abonyi for Zentralblatt Math<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/span>The book is available also from Amazon where it seems to have received a decent response from the readers in the USA<\/a>, India<\/a> and Italy<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of 2020 I have published a public-outreach book in Italian, “The irresistible attraction of gravity”<\/strong><\/em>, which attempts to explain what is gravity and why we are so deeply attracted by it. It explains that gravity is the only interaction for which we have a direct and conscient awareness that manifests itself already when we are newborn in terms of an instinct.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The book covers all aspects of the interpretation of gravity as a manifestation of spacetime curvature and is meant for a general audience and will soon appear also in German and English. <\/span><\/p>\n
