Open issues and controversies. 520 8 Loop quantum gravity is one of the modern contenders for a unified description of quantum mechanics and gravity. Up to now no book has covered the material at the level of a college student or of other readers with some knowledge of college level physics. This book fills that gap. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Quantum gravity.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85109463 650 7 Quantum gravity.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1085110 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Pullin, Jorge.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n95069412 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGambini, Rodolfo.|tFirst course in loop quantum gravity.|dOxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2011|z9780199590759|w(DLC) 2011942564 |w(OCoLC)730413861 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=575568|zOnline eBook.
