This book is an edited version of the review talks given in the Seventh Aegean Summer School on Beyond Einstein's Theory of Gravity, held in Parikia on Paros Island, Greece, from 23 to 28 September 2013. The aim is to present an advanced multiauthored textbook meeting the needs of both postgraduate students and young researchers, in the fields of gravity, relativity, cosmology and quantum field theory.
