Product Description
A completely revised and updated edition of this classic text, covering important new methods and many recently discovered solutions. This edition contains new chapters on generation methods and their application, classification of metrics by invariants, and treatments of homothetic motions and methods from dynamical systems theory. It also includes colliding waves, inhomogeneous cosmological solutions, and spacetimes containing special subspaces. |

not many are known, but here they are 
The extreme non-linear, coupled nature of Einstein's Field Equations has meant that relatively few exact solutions are known. So what Stephani presents seems to be a fairly complete rendition of these solutions. It goes beyond the trivial solutions given in the standard texts by Weinberg or Misner, Thorne and Wheeler.
Stephani saves you from a lot of searching through decades of various physics journals. A boon for a General Relativity researcher.
