Gravitational radiation has not been positively detected. Over the
past two decades an army of extremely sensitive detectors has been
built up, so that today its detection appears inevitable. In the
opening chapters of this 1991 book David Blair introduces the
concepts of gravitational waves within the context of general
relativity. The sources of gravitational radiation for which there
is direct observational evidence and those of a more speculative
nature are described. He then gives a general introduction to the
methods of detection. In the subsequent chapters he has drawn
together the leading scientists in the field to give a
comprehensive practical and theoretical account of the physics and
technology of gravitational wave detection. David Blair has
extensive knowledge of the subject and has visited most of the
gravitational radiation experiments over the world. He has compiled
a book which will be of lasting value to specialists, both the
postgraduates and researchers in the field.
