Kip Thorne (with others) wrote the standard text book I used at university on Gravity: "Gravitation"

It is a mighty tome, with lots of advanced maths (like tensor calculus), and I can't say I got through very much of it as a Physics undergraduate!
I was pleased to see him pop up again as a science adviser for the movie Interstellar and have enjoyed reading his much more accessible book - "The Science of Interstellar"
