}This Resource Letter is designed to guide students, educators, and researchers through (some of) the literature on black holes. We discuss both the physics and astrophysics of black holes. We emphasize breadth over depth, and review articles over primary sources. We include resources ranging from nontechnical discussions appropriate for broad audiences to technical reviews of current research. Topics addressed include classification of stationary solutions, perturbations and stability of black…

It is proved that the first law of black hole mechanics holds for arbitrary perturbations of a stationary black hole, and a local, geometrical prescription is proposed for the entropy, $S_{dyn}$, of a dynamical black hole.
