About to purchase Misner, Thorne and Wheeler's Gravitation I wonder if there is a newer book covering the topic in similar depth and breath and all that which might also be “a pedagogic masterpiece,” as the cover text says.

While the reprint is from 2017, I couldn't find a hint that is was amended in some way, so I ask if there is a newer book with material or aspects or approaches to the topics which were not yet available in 1973?

$\tiny\text{Note: I am not a student at a University, just a curious old guy. :-)}$

EDIT: marking this as a duplicate seems somewhat appropriate. For posterity I'd like to note the publication dates:

And any kind of comparison to MTW as I kind-of ask above might be a bit too subjective.

    It's great book, but I had Kip teaching the class, which definitely helped. – JEB Oct 04 '23 at 14:59

    I had the misfortune to have to help a prof who had picked Hartle to teach students with it. While it is obviously a nicely written book, it is really so awkward in its presentation that there is little chance of students understanding GR from it. – naturallyInconsistent Oct 04 '23 at 16:36
