Apparently (according to my professor who was with Carroll at Harvard), thats how the book came into existance in the first place. As far as I can tell, the book is excellent. I highly recommend it. Basically it´s Wald in English. Many things in Wald are explained in more detail (don´t confuse detail with clarity, Wald posesses the supreme clarity of Math). Therefore, this text is best used in conjunction with Wald.. And summed up by saying Great GR book to learn GR from. Currently Spacetime and Geometry: An Introduction to General Relativity has an overall rating of 10 over 10.

Benjamin Cummings claimed Spacetime and Geometry: An Introduction to General Relativity provides a lucid and thoroughly modern introduction to general relativity. With an accessible and lively writing style, it introduces modern techniques to what can often be a formal and intimidating subject. Readers are led from the physics of flat spacetime (special relativity), through the intricacies of differential geometry and Einstein´s equations, and on to exciting applications such as black holes, gravitational radiation, and cosmology. For advanced undergraduates and graduate students, or anyone interested in astronomy, cosmology, physics, or general relativity.
