Reviews
“This is an interesting book which bridges the gap between popular articles and treatises on gravitational waves, and the highly specialized articles on aspects of potential gravitational-wave sources and the detectors being designed to search for them. … a book aimed at young keen researchers starting out in the field of gravitational-wave detection. … it will also be of interest to experimental physicists working on the limitations to fundamental measurement.” (Jim Hough, The Observatory, Vol. 135 (1245), April, 2015)
