A No-Nonsense Introduction to General Relativity
by Sean M. Carroll
General relativity has a reputation of being extremely difficult. This introduction is a very pragmatic affair, intended to give you some immediate feel for the language of GR. It does not substitute for a deep understanding -- that takes more work.

Lecture Notes on General Relativity
by Matthias Blau - Universitaet Bern
The first half of the book is dedicated to developing the machinery of tensor calculus and Riemannian geometry required to describe physics in a curved space time. We will then turn to various applications of General Relativity.

Gravitational Waves and Black Holes: an Introduction to General Relativity
by J.W. van Holten - arXiv
General relativity is outlined as the classical field theory of gravity, emphasizing physical phenomena rather than mathematical formalism. Dynamical solutions representing traveling waves and stationary fields of black holes are discussed.
