This textbook explores approximate solutions to general relativity and their consequences.
The book explores the motion of self-gravitating bodies, the physics.
Beginning with a uniquely thorough treatment of Newtonian gravity, the book develops post-Newtonian and post-Minkowskian approximation methods to obtain weak-field solutions to the Einstein field equations.
It offers a unique presentation of Einstein\'s theory by developing powerful methods that can be applied to astrophysical systems.
