Critics Review
‘Students and experienced researchers will welcome Michele Maggiore’s timely and authoritative new text book.’ Nature, February 2008. ‘…excellent and useful material…on an important new frontier of astronomy and of fundamental physics. I look forward to Volume 2, and even more so to the dawn of gravitational-wave astronomy.’ Nature, February 2008. ‘A very good book, and it fills a gap in the literature. […] It is an ideal textbook for a monographic introductory course on gravitational waves, for graduates or advanced undergraduates, [and] it could also be the basic reference text for researchers, both experimentalists and theoreticians.’ The Gravitational Voice, January 2008
About The Author
Michele Maggiore
Michele Maggiore
Department of Theoretical Physics, University of Geneva
Born in 1963, Michele Maggiore graduated from the University of Pisa in 1986 and received his PhD from Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa in 1989. After postdoctoral positions in Bern and at the University of Minnesota, he became a researcher at INFN in Pisa in 1991. Since 2001, he has been Professeur Ordinaire (Professor) at the Dept. of Theoretical Physics, University of Geneva.
His research interests cover a broad range of subjects, including quantum field theory, quantum gravity, cosmology, string theory, and the study of gravitational waves of astrophysical or cosmological origin. He is also involved in experimental efforts for gravitational wave detection.
