Books on LQG

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. —Robert M. Wald

Graduate students would find this unified treatment of a large subject extremely useful. More advanced researchers would be able to appreciate the fascinating confluence of ideas from particle physics, general relativity and contemporary mathematics.  —Abhay Ashtekar

The book of Carlo Rovelli provides the basis, both at a technical and conceptual level, for research in this fundamental problem of physics. The basic issues are clearly and deeply analyzed without any dogmatic stand and with great freedom of thoughts resulting in an invaluable opportunity to learn and think for both mathematicians and physicists. —Alain Connes

The author starts from first principles with a general introduction to quantum gravity, and then proceeds to give, what is by far, the most comprehensive, and mathematically precise, exposition of loop quantum gravity that is available in the literature. The reader should be warned though that, when it comes to mathematics, the author takes no hostages [...].  —Chris Isham

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. —Cern Courier
