Book Synopsis
The book's principal aim is to clarify fundamental concepts, decipher mathematical structures used to model space-time and relativistic worlds, and to disclose their physical meaning. After each chapter, philosophical implications of the presented material are commented upon.Both special and general theories of relativity are presented in the book with the stress on their global aspects. Although global mathematical methods are extensively used throughout the book, the definitions of new concepts, short comments and examples make reading smooth without the need to consult other textbooks or review papers.

Table of Contents
Manifold model of space-time; relativistic model of space-time; method of fibre bundles; the frame bundle and general relativity; the cosmological problem; geometry of the standard cosmological model; bibliographical essay; evolution of dynamical space-time theories.
