The Planets
Sobel, Dava2005
Book
With her international bestsellers Longitude and Galileo's Daughter, Dava Sobel introduced readers to her rare and luminous gift for weaving difficult scientific concepts into a compelling narrative. Now, in the Planets, Sobel brings her full talents to bear on what is perhaps her most ambitious topic to date - the planets of our solar system. Whether revealing what lies behind Venus's cocoon of acid clouds or recalling her personal encounter with moon dust, this intimate account is filled with fascination, beauty and surprise. Includes glossary, bibliography and index.
