Recensione

Review of the hardback: ' ... carefully organized text ... represents a snapshot of the state of the art of the modern quest for the origins of the worlds. ... a definitive text for the shelves of researchers, students, and interested bystanders that should prove to be of considerable longevity. Even Slartibartfast and Douglas Adams, to whom this volume is dedicated, might find it handy.' Science

Review of the hardback: 'This book brings together a wide range of planet-formation papers ... written by some of the leading academics in planet-formation research. ... the book covers the main research areas one would expect ... as a concise reference and introduction to planet-formation research.' The Observatory

Review of the hardback: ' ... a very welcome contribution, helping the dynamicist understand the hazy limit between low-mass stars and planets, as well as discussing their differences in observational characteristics and probable formation process ... this book is recommended for those researchers who, although fluent in Celestial Mechanics, wish to expand their knowledge on the physical aspects of cosmogony before embarking in this multi-disciplinary field.' Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy
