Loop Quantum Gravityby Thomas Thiemann - arXiv
This is a (relatively) non-technical summary of the status of the quantum dynamics in Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). We explain in detail the historical evolution of the subject and why the results obtained so far are non-trivial.

From Classical To Quantum Gravity: Introduction to Loop Quantum Gravityby Kristina Giesel, Hanno Sahlmann - arXiv
An introduction to the canonical quantization of gravity performed in loop quantum gravity. A special feature of this introduction is the inclusion of new proposals for coupling matter to gravity that can be used to deparametrize the theory.
