The review not only covers technical aspects of detectors and sciences that will be done, but also analyzes the subject in a historical perspective, covering the various detection efforts over four decades, starting from Weber's pioneering work. %8 Jan. %N 1 %T Past, present and future of the Resonant-Mass gravitational wave detectors %@electronicmailaddress odylio@das.inpe.br %@secondarytype PRE PI %K gravitation, gravitational waves, instrumentation: detectors.
