Product Description
The aim of this book is to become THE reference text for gravitational-wave physics, covering in detail both the experimental and the theoretical aspects. It is he only existing book on gravitational waves, and it will likely remain unique for its broadeness and scope. It brings the reader to the forefront of present-day research, both theoretical and experimental, assuming no previous knowledge of
gravitational-wave physics.
Part I of this volume is devoted to the theory of gravitational waves. Here we have rederived - in a coherent way - most of the results that we present, clarifying or streamlining existing derivations.
Part II is devoted to a description of experimental GW physics. We discuss in great detail exisiting and planned experiments, as well as
data analysis techniques. |

Excellent 
This text fills a void and will be a standard reference. I am quite happy to see so much great physics of graviational waves assembled coherently in one spot. Both geometrical and field theoretical approaches are given equally thoughful consideration in the theoretical layout (which I am slogging through currently). Recommended for GW researchers and those interesting in GWs.
