I found it to be very readable and an interesting introduction to the field of astrodynamics. I think it succeeds in its intention to emphasize the similarities between celestial mechanics and astrodynamics as well as the problems involved in dealing with real data. It is well-illustrated and is supported by good reference material. ... the authors are to be congratulated on generating an excellent text-book which should find its place on any astronomer's bookshelf. (Steve Bell, The Observatory, Vol. 137, August, 2017)
