This free textbook serves as an introduction to the more exotic aspects of general relativity, specifically black holes, while not overwhelming the student with mathematics more advanced than calculus. By not incorporating tensors and differential geometry, the authors designed the book to accompany a general relativity course at the lower undergraduate level.
In the second edition, the authors chose to make every measurement and observation in a local inertial frame, so that almost everywhere -- except possibly at the center of a black hole -- spacetime curves gently enough that the situations can be analyzed using special relativity.
