Summary. 330 $aThis book reviews various modified gravity models, including those with modifications in the pure gravitational sector; those involving extra fields, that is, scalar-tensor and vector-tensor gravity theories; gravity models with Lorentz symmetry breaking; and nonlocal gravity models. The authors discuss both classical and quantum aspects of these theories. The book is unique in bringing together all the current alternatives to Einstein gravity in one source and serves as an excellent starting point for graduate students and other newcomers seeking an overview. This second edition has been expanded with new results from a variety of approaches including f(R,Q,P) gravity, galileon gravity and massive gravity. Extended discussions of Lorentz-breaking terms and of non-local field theory have been added and a completely new chapter is devoted to models based on non-Riemannian geometry. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Physics,$x2191-5431 606 $aGravitation 606 $aRelativity (Physics) 606 $aGravitational Physics 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravity 606 $aAlternative Relativity 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aRelativity (Physics). 615 14$aGravitational Physics. 615 24$aClassical and Quantum Gravity. 615 24$aAlternative Relativity. 676 $a530.1 700 $aPetrov$b Albert$0843156 701 $aNascimento$b Jose Roberto$01448921 701 $aPorfirio$b Paulo$01448922 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910765485703321 996 $aIntroduction to Modified Gravity$93644926 997 $aUNINA
