About this product
Product Information
The Cambridge Photographic Guide to the Planets includes a broad selection of the latest images of the planets, moons, comets, and asteroids of the Earth's Solar System. Beginning with a comprehensive introduction to the planetary system, its origin and its evolution, physicist Frederick Taylor devotes each chapter to a different planet or Solar System body, with a thorough presentation of its moons and rings, and incorporates images from planetary missions and explanatory captions. Having worked with NASA and the European Space Agency on missions to Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, and Titan, Taylor offers an unusually experienced perspective in this comprehensive reference. Frederic W. Taylor is Halley Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford and a Distinguished Visiting Scientist in the Earth and Space Sciences Division at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology. His research interests include the physics of planetary atmospheres; experimental methods for studying atmospheres; and the theory of atmospheric radiation and atmospheric molecular spectroscopy.

Reviews
'Taylor has produced a useful and fascinating book that I can recommend to anyone interested in the planets.' C. R. Kitchin, Astronomy Now, 'This photographic guide will be of interest to anybody with a fascination for the planets, from the amateur to the professional astronomer.' Richard Taylor, Spaceflight, "Taylor presents the latest and most interesting pictures of planets, comets, and asteroids and details what these brillian color and black-and-white photographs reveal to the public and scientists. Moreover, these imags are accompanied by informative text about each planet and its moons and rings." Science News, 'Asteroids, comets and meteorites provide the basis for theories about how the more highly processed, bigger objects of the solar system came to be, and Taylor covers this territory well.' Martin Ince, Times Higher Education Supplement, "It is written in an informative but approachable style and presents a good summary of where we are at in terms of our knowledge of the Solar System to date. If you're looking for a solid introduction to planetary astronomy, this is a good place to start." TPO, "Taylor offers a selection of the latest images of solar system objects obtained from interplanetary mission and adveanced telescopic technologies.... it is an excellent book for anyone interested in the solar system." Choice, '... a family album of revealing photographs of our many previously unseen and mysterious neighbors ... an arresting reminder of the stunning collection of photos and photo mosaics that have been amassed from 30 years of solar-system exploration and a compelling record of the journeys of Pathfinder, Galileo, Magellan, Clementine, and the rest of man's team of continuing explorers.' Brian Anderson, Lunar and Planetary Information, "Taylor's captions are vivid, clear, and concise, so that the reader with no geological training will find himself in the first chapter quickly learning the effects of impact melting, shock waves, and impact energy on the character of a planet's surface." Lunar and Planetary Information Bulletin, '… a family album of revealing photographs of our many previously unseen and mysterious neighbors … an arresting reminder of the stunning collection of photos and photo mosaics that have been amassed from 30 years of solar-system exploration and a compelling record of the journeys of Pathfinder, Galileo, Magellan, Clementine, and the rest of man's team of continuing explorers.' Brian Anderson, Lunar and Planetary Information

Need Better Packaging, book was shipped only in plastic bag with no padding or protection. One corner poked through package and was slightly bent. Book was used and in condition as described and expected, even with the bent corner. Have bought books before from this seller and they were packed better. I am a giving a neutral response hoping other buyers are aware of the somewhat poor and inconsistent packaging from seller as that is what feedback is for.
