This two-volume book is a comprehensive, detailed account of the physics of gravitational waves. While Vol. 1 is devoted to the theory and experiments, Vol. 2 discusses what can be learned from gravitational waves in astrophysics and cosmology by systematizing a large body of theoretical developments that have taken place over the last decades.
