Reviews
'I will provide the bottom line up-front: basically, this book is a must have. It is inexpensive, timely and in a class of one - currently there are no alternative texts which cover the same ground in such detail ... this book is highly recommended and one you should buy for your own personal collection.' Ian P. Wright, Astronomy and Geophysics
'Prof. Jakosky ... is very well qualified to give this broad overview, and he succeeds admirably. His writing style is down-to-earth and crystal clear ... Moreover, Jakosky is open-minded and liberal in presenting his views ... I thoughly recommend this as absorbing bedtime reading to anyone interested in the origins and significance of our place in the universe.' Edward Hanna, Journal of BAA
' ... the book is well written, informative and authoritative.' Earth Space Review
'Javosky's book on the subject is a welcome and timely addition to the library of research reviews.' A. D. Andrews, Irish Astronomical Journal
