Encyclopedia of the Solar System,Second Edition by Lucy-Ann Mc Fadden, Paul R. Weissman & Torrence V. Johnson
Requirements: PDF Reader, 65 MB
Overview: An arresting jacket painting by Brad Greenwood shows the solar system as it would be seen from the sun. The 56 contributors to this one-volume encyclopedia–all specialists in solar system science–describe the system from the galaxy inward to the sun and then outward through the planets. They discuss also comets, asteroids, missions of exploration to the planets, and the search for planets outside the solar system. The audience the editors have aimed at includes teachers, students, advanced amateurs, astronomers who do not specialize in the solar system, and professionals in other scientific and technical fields. Such a person could usefully read the volume straight through or plunge at once into any of the topics. Indeed, a reader who knows little about the solar system could do the same; she would end up knowing a lot. –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
