- More about Theory and Experiment in Gravitational Physics
A review of experimental gravity providing a detailed survey of the testing of Einstein's theory of gravity and discussing the theoretical and mathematical framework needed to analyse gravitational theories and interpret experiments. Including a variety of alternative theories, it is a comprehensive reference for researchers and graduate students.

The 2015 centenary of Einstein's general theory of relativity and the first detection of gravitational waves have reignited the debate over whether Einstein's theories were correct. This comprehensive review of experimental gravity explores the extensive testing of Einstein's gravity, including tests in the emerging strong-field dynamical regime. It delves into the theoretical frameworks required to analyze gravitational theories and interpret experiments. Completely revised and updated, this new edition features coverage of new alternative theories of gravity, a unified treatment of gravitational radiation, and the implications of the latest binary pulsar observations. Spanning from the earliest tests involving the Solar System to the latest tests using gravitational waves detected from merging black holes and neutron stars, this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students working in general relativity, cosmology, particle physics, and astrophysics.
