A clear and concise presentation of Quantum Gravity topics in the context of Quantum Geometry. In the "... `Planck regime', one must use an appropriate synthesis of general relativity and quantum physics, i.e., a quantum gravity theory. The predictions of this theory are likely to be quite different from those of general relativity. In the real, quantum world, evolution may be completely non--singular. Physics may not come to a halt and quantum theory could extend classical space--time.===
