Reviews

From the book reviews: As a textbook I found it excellent. Although I've taken master's level courses on astronomy at the university there was a lot of interesting content, and what I loved the most, were the 'Challenges' at the end of each chapter - mostly problems where you need to calculate something or derive an equation. ... If you want a detailed account of the inner solar system, I think this is the book to dive into. (Kadri Tinn, AstroMadness.com, January, 2015) This second edition ... provides 'new insights' on the topic and contains additional material on the sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and other areas. ... The writing is lucid and the discussions are easy to follow. This valuable addition to college libraries will also be welcome on the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in the solar system. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. (A. Spero, Choice, Vol. 52 (1), September, 2014)
