Exploring the Solar System, by Nicholas Booth
This gorgeous book takes
readers on an armchair tour of the solar system,
and
includes some of the most recent images available
of the planets, moons and debris
that circle our sun. The prose is crystal-clear,
telling us what we do and do not know
about this corner of the galaxy. But the vivid
pictures -- more than 300 of them in
full-color -- are the main attraction, and
deservedly so. They are simply beautiful.
Considering what it delivers, Exploring the Solar
System comes with a surprisingly
low sticker price. It's a real bargain. [review,
