This book addresses physicists working in general relativity, astrophysics and cosmology. The contributions are based on reports given at a summer

school the goal of which was to review modern research for students. The

school was centered on the study of gravitational fields corresponding to rotating objects of astrophysical interest, under different viewpoints: theoretical, numerical and observational. Special emphasis is put on the

analysis of interior and exterior fields of stationary

axisymmetric systems. Lectures and contributions, collected here in

Part I, ranged from basic information useful to newcomers to technical points pertaining to current research in this area. Part II contains

lectures and contributions on other aspects of gravitation theory.
