According to general expectation, general relativity as well as quantum (field) theory in a fixed background spacetime cannot be fundamentally correct. Hence there should exist a broader theory comprising both in appropriate limits, i.e., quantum gravity. This book gives readers a comprehensive introduction accessible to interested non-experts to the main issues surrounding the search for quantum gravity. These issues relate to fundamental questions concerning the various formalisms of quantization; specific questions concerning concrete processes, like gravitational collapse or black-hole evaporation; and the all important question concerning the possibility of experimental tests of quantum-gravity effects. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x1616-6361 ;$v631 606 $aElementary particles (Physics) 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aGeometry, Differential 606 $aGravitation 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory 606 $aDifferential Geometry 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravity 615 0$aElementary particles (Physics). 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aGeometry, Differential. 615 0$aGravitation. 615 14$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 615 24$aDifferential Geometry. 615 24$aClassical and Quantum Gravity. 676 $a530.14/3 702 $aGiulini$b Domenico J.
