Gravitational Waves: The World of Tomorrow, A Primer

by Robert Baker

This book is a primer that presents the most basic elements of gravitational waves. It fills the gap between general news articles concerning gravitational waves and their treatment in more sophisticated texts, which tend not only to be over the head of most layperson readers, but lack consideration of the practical value of gravitational waves. Especially neglected are gravitational waves at the high-end of the gravitational-wave frequency scale, which are discussed in detail in this book. Such high-frequency gravitational waves, for which the well-publicized JASON Report does not apply, may be the communication means in tomorrow’s world; including interstellar communication.

interesting subject

Interesting book, but my only complaint is that the resolution of the figures is poor. This is unimportant for pictures but anytime print is present, the resolution should be the best possible! This is a common but annoying problem throughout kindle world!
