- Gravitational Physics: Exploring the Structure of Space and Time (1999). This online book, written by the National Research Council Committee on Gravitational Physics, assesses the achievements of the field over the past decade in both theory and experiment and identifies the most promising opportunities for research in the next decade. The book examines topics such as gravitational waves and their detection,classical and quantum theory of strong gravitational fields, precision measurements, and astronomical observations relevant to the predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity. GP-B is mentioned on page 84.
