(ed.). Gravitational waves (IOP, 2001)(422s).

ReferencesWe have divided the references into two sections. The first gives generally usefulreferences—books, conference summaries, etc—that interested students shouldgo to for background and a more complete discussion of the theory. The secondsection contains specific references to the research literature. General referencesare indicated in the text by the author name plus year, as Misner et al (1973). Thespecific references are indicated by numbers, for example [1,3].General referencesGeneral relativityThere are a number of good text books on GR.
