Since binary pulsars represent a natural laboratory for testing relativistic field theories, it was interesting to study the problem of two bodies, in a strong field regime. Hence, this book is not only a complete review of the work done on binary pulsars but also, it includes an important step towards a more general solution to the problem of the strong field of two bodies; which is still far beyond the reach of researchers. This is done by modifying Curzon solution to describe the field of binaries. A more general formula for red-shift and Shapiro time delay were derived including additional terms. Also, energy localization and the possibility of gravitational waves emission have been discussed. This book is a good reference for the relativists and astrophysicists. "The book presents a competent and reasonably complete summary of techniques developed for study of binary stars. It summarizes work that has been done on the relativistic two-body problem. The author traces the...
