Development of 10 m 102 bounce laser interferometer gravitational wave antenna(TENKO-10) at ISAS is described. The objective is to establish the engineering background for the laser interferometer gravitational wave antenna in Japan so that we can construct a km class antenna for the detection of gravitational waves in future. A particular emphasis was on the achievement of a long term stable operation. 127 hour operation was realized in February-March 1989 and more than 5 hour continuous operation was done without any adjustment. An upgrade of the interferometer to l00m(TENKO-l00) is going to be started in 1991 and will be completed in 1994.

This book contains the proceedings of the first conference dedicated entirely to the detection and use of gravitational waves. Articles include status reports on major existing prototypes, both laser interferometer and resonant bar detectors; numerical modelling of detectors; data processing requirements; quantum optical techniques; and future plans and directions for resonant bar and laser interferometer instruments. It will serve as an important summary of the status of the field at the beginning of the decade in which direct detection of gravity waves should finally be achieved, giving birth to gravitational astronomy.

"Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts" appearing twice a year has become oneof the fundamental publications in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics andneighbouring sciences. It is the most important English-language abstracting journal in the mentioned branches. The abstrats are classified under more than a hundred subject categories, thus permitting a quick survey of the whole extended material. The AAA is a valuable and important publication for all students and scientists working in the fields of astronomy and related sciences. As such it represents a necessary ingredient of any astronomical library all over the world.

Since 1975, the triennial Marcel Grossmann Meetings have been organized in order to provide opportunities for discussing recent advances in gravitation, general relativity and relativisitic field theories, emphasizing mathematical foundations, physical predictions, and experimental tests.The proceedings of the Seventh Marcel Grossmann Meeting include the invited papers given at the plenary sessions, the summaries of the parallel sessions, the contributed papers presented at the parallel sessions, and the evening public lectures.The authors of these papers discuss many of the recent theoretical, observational, and experimental developments that have significant implications for the fields of physics, cosmology, and relativistic astrophysics.

The construction of large interferometers for gravitational wave detection is now in progress in Europe and in the United States. To stimulate theoretical and experimental work a conference was organised in Cascina (Italy), where the Virgo interferometer is being built. Review talks discussed the expected signals, covering general relativity and astrophysical aspects (binary coalescence, supernovae, neutron stars, cosmological background). Experimental talks gave the current status of the running experiments (resonant bars, prototype interferometers, satellite tracking) and of the planned ones (large interferometers, ultra cryogenic resonating bars and spheres, space missions).

Experimental gravitation covers a wide and thriving area, of interest both to theoreticians and experimentalists. The timescale involved for completion of experiments has, however, meant that relatively little material is published to date. These proceedings provide an up to date account of recent developments from respected workers in the field. For researchers in experimental and theoretical gravitation, classical and quantum gravity, and in general relativity and cosmology.
