Gravitational Waves: Volume 1: Theory and  Experiments
`There is no doubt that gravitational waves are about to be detected. Gravity has been steadily moving into the centre of physics for over a decade, and excitement generated by gravitational-wave signals would lead to a substantial demand for a graduate-level text such as this. I very much like the emphasis on rederiving classical results afresh and in a coherent context. The scheme of covering more technical topics through solved problems, also employed by in the classical Landau-Lifshitz series, is an excellent one. Part II of volume 1, on experiments, should provide an outstanding training in the principles of experimental physics and as such provide a wonderful graduate course.' James Binney, University of Oxford`The book will fill a space which currently exists and will be of significant use to both students and researchers in the field as well as those in other areas who want to know a little about the subject.'
