Reviews
“All the models presented in the book are analyzed in detail, showing their strengths and weaknesses, in particular the causal coherence of the theory (analyzing the Goedel-like solutions) and the possible consistence with quantum theory (renormalizability).This book gives a good guidance for those scientists who want to face the field of alternative theories of gravity.” (Daniele Montanino, zbMATH 1470.83004, 2021)
