The Detection of Gravitational Waves
Cambridge University Press 1991; US$ 94.00An experimental text in which leading scientists in the field provide a state of the art account of the physics and technology of gravitational wave detection. more...
Gravitational Waves
CRC Press 2001; US$ 189.95This work provides a review of gravitational waves - a subject that promises to play a central role in astrophysics, cosmology and theoretical physics. A range of contributions from leading scientists are included. more...
Gravity's Ghost
University of Chicago Press 2010; US$ 30.00In theory, at least, gravitational waves do exist. We are constantly bathed in gravitational radiation, which is generated when stars explode or collide and a portion of their mass becomes energy that ripples out like a disturbance on the surface of a serene pond. But unfortunately no gravitational wave has ever been directly detected even though... more...
Gravity's Shadow
University of Chicago Press 2010; US$ 36.00According to the theory of relativity, we are constantly bathed in gravitational radiation. When stars explode or collide, a portion of their mass becomes energy that disturbs the very fabric of the space-time continuum like ripples in a pond. But proving the existence of these waves has been difficult; the cosmic shudders are so weak that only the... more...
Gravitational-Wave Physics and Astronomy
Wiley 2012; US$ 175.00This most up-to-date, one-stop reference combines coverage of both theory and observational techniques, with introductory sections to bring all readers up to the same level. Written by outstanding researchers directly involved with the scientific program of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), the book begins with a brief... more...
Newton's Gravity
Springer 2012; US$ 69.99Newtons Gravity conveys the power of simple mathematics to tell the fundamental truth about nature. Many people, for example, know the tides are caused by the pull of the Moon and to a lesser extent the Sun. But very few can explain exactly how and why that happens. Fewer still can calculate the actual pulls of the Moon and... more...
Gravitational Radiation, Luminous Black Holes and Gamma-Ray Burst Supernovae
Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 38.00Gravitational Radiation, Luminous Black Holes and Gamma-Ray Burst Supernovae provides a comprehensive overview of the theory of gravitational radiation and rotating black holes, and the phenomenology of GRB-supernovae. It is ideal for graduate students of gravitational-wave astronomy and as an introduction to those interested in this contemporary development... more...
