The Cambridge guide to the solar system provides a comprehensive and up-to-date description of the planets and their moons. Writing at an introductory level appropriate for high school and undergraduate students, Professor Lang leads the reader on a fascinating journey of exploration to the worlds beyond our home planet Earth. The book begins with a short introduction to the history of planetary observation and discovery. The major planets and their moons are then introduced by presenting common properties, processes, and themes. This is followed by chapters which focus on individual planets and other solar-system objects, including a comprehensive treatment of the various space missions : from the Apollo missions to the Moon, to recent missions to Jupiter and Mars. Filled with vital facts and information, and lavishly illustrated in colour through-out;, this book will appeal to professionals as well as general readers with an interest in planetary science. This book is supported by a website lacated at http://ase.tufts.edu/cosmos/ that contains all the images in the book together with their legends and some brief explanatory text. This site also contains similar material for the author's The Cambridge encyclopedia of the Sun.
