520    This monograph surveys 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." Geared toward graduate students and researchers in
       general relativity, the text offers a comprehensive and 
       unified review of the vast literature on the subject. The 
       first eight chapters offer background, presenting the 
       field equations and discussing some qualitative aspects of
       their solution. Subsequent chapters explore further exact 
       solutions for colliding plane gravitational waves and the 
       collision and interaction of electromagnetic waves. The 
       final chapters summarize all related results for the 
       collision of plane waves of different types and in non-
       flat backgrounds. A new postscript updates developments 
       since the book's initial 1991 publication.
