Surf these sites: An Introduction to Simplicial Gravity -- Contains introductory material on quantum mechanics and relativity and outlines one method of combining the two theories An Ode to Effective Lagrangian -- A brief introduction is given to the methods of effective lagrangians. The emphasis is on a summary of the overall picture, using a simple model of quantum gravity. Discrete Approaches to Quantum Gravity -- The construction of a consistent theory of quantum gravity is a problem in theoretical physics that has so far defied all attempts at resolution. I review here three major areas of research: gauge-theoretic approaches; quantum Regge calculus; and the method of dynamical triangulations. Gravity as an Effective Field Theory -- This is a pedagogical introduction to the treatment of general relativity as a quantum effective field theory Loop Quantum Gravity -- The problem of finding the quantum theory of the gravitational field is still open. This site provides a general overview of ideas, results and open problems of loop quantum gravity Matters of Gravity -- An online journal with articles on advances in the theories of gravity Numerical Quantum Gravity -- An overview of work being done in the field of quantum gravity. Quantum Geometry and Black Holes -- Non-perturbative quantum general relativity provides a possible framework to analyze black holes. A review of recent developments in this area is given at a post-doctoral level. Quantum Gravity -- A brief review of possible methods of quantizing gravity. Quantum Gravity -- A site maintained by Cambridge University on advances in quantum theories of gravity Quantum Gravity -- A brief explanation of the search for a quantum theory of gravity, including links to sites on topological field theories. Quantum Gravity and M-Theory -- A review of modern approaches to quantum gravity Random Surfaces and Quantum Gravity -- Monte Carlo methods are being used to study discrete random surface models of string theory and quantum gravity. We are developing algorithms for parallelizing this dynamic irregular mesh problem. Strings, Loops and Others -- This postscript file contains a review of the present theoretical attempts to understand the quantum properties of spacetime Summary Report of the D2 Workshop -- A review of material presented at at 1998 conference on quantum cosmology
