Recensione
'An Introduction to the Solar System is clearly written, accurate, up-to-date, well-produced and a pleasure to read. It is a first rate production by a team of professionals, clearly designed for teaching and up to the high standards of The Open University. The many questions that are posed throughout the text (with answers at the back) make it an ideal teaching text. As a beginning text at an undergraduate or advanced high school level, it is hard to fault this book and I suspect that it will be widely used in introductory courses.' Professor S. Ross Taylor, The Australian National University
'An Introduction to the Solar System stands out from the majority of introductory textbooks in this area due to its excellent coverage of the geological and geophysical aspects of planetary science. The glossary of terms provided in the back of the book will prove extremely helpful to students, as will the many questions and exercises interspersed throughout the text.' Professor Imke De Pater, University of California, Berkeley
'Of all the planetary-science textbooks on my shelf, this is my new favorite. It is up to date, lavishly illustrated, and engagingly written at a level that would challenge but not overwhelm the typical undergraduate ... excellent value.' Science Direct
'... it is clearly written and a joy to turn over each page ... This book covers such a wide range of information that there is bound to be something for anyone who has ever had an interest in what is beyond our planet ... It represents, to my mind, excellent value for money with so much knowledge available for each penny spent!.' Open University Geological Survey
