Book excerpt: Causal relations, and with them the underlying null cone or conformal structure, form a basic ingredient in all general analytical studies of asymptotically flat space-time.

Care has been taken to present the material in a way that will also be accessible to postgraduate students and nonspecialist reseachers from related fields.
