Riassunto

The only up-to-date book on asteroids at midlevel. Its contents incorporate the very latest developments in the field, including recent close-up studies by spacecraft and the results of ground-based research. Current topics including radar studies of asteroids, research into the links between asteroids and comets, and recent surveys of near-Earth asteroids, together with the possible hazard posed to the Earth through collisions with such objects, are all addressed.
