Reviews

From the book reviews: This book provides a great deal of information about the surface features of the planet. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above; general readers. (J. R. Kraus, Choice, Vol. 52 (2), October, 2014) Mercury begins with information as to how to use the Gazetteer, explaining the way in which entries have been made, and a guide to pronunciation. ... this new Gazetteer of Mercury is very comprehensive and represents a really excellent publication. I strongly recommend it. (Richard McKim, The Observatory, Vol. 134 (1242), October, 2014)
