Lectures on Non-Perturbative Canonical Gravity
It is essential reading not only for anyone who intends to do research on this approach but also for anyone at the level of an advanced graduate student or beyond who is interested in broadening his or her perspectives on the theory of quantum gravity.

ISBN: 978-1-108-81025-8​​​ ​
This is an excellent introduction to spinfoams, an area of loop quantum gravity that draws ideas from Regge calculus, topological field theory and group field theory. It fills an important gap in the literature offering both a pedagogical overview and a platform for further developments in a forefront area of research that is advancing rapidly.

Written by young theoretical physicists who are expert in the field, this volume is meant both to provide an introduction to the field and to offer a review of the latest developments, not discussed in many other existing books, for senior researchers. It will also appeal to scientists who do not work directly on LQG but are interested in issues at the interface of general relativity and quantum physics.
