Pressestimmen
"This is much more than an atlas; it is an annotated atlas that blends graphs, photographs, and illustrations with clear and historical text." Science Books and Films "This book is an interesting combination of history and the latest data on Uranus." Choice "This is a relatively short book, but it is well worth the modest price." --Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta "...you can't do better than this book for a good Uranus update." Quarterly Review of Biology "In all, the text is well-written for a general audience, interesting, and informative. The collection of all historical and up-to-date scientific information on one planetary system into one volume makes this a nice addition to any planetary library." Anne J. Verbiscer, Icarus
