This monograph is a survey of recent research on the collision and interaction of gravitational and electromagnetic waves. "This is a particularly important topic in general relativity," the author notes, "since the theory predicts that there will be a nonlinear interaction between such waves." A new postscript updates developments since the book's initial 1991 publication.
