"G. P. Kuiper's legacy of discoveries in stellar and planetary astronomy and his commanding influence on the development of infrared astronomy and the origin of modern planetary science are vividly described in Sears's engaging biography."--Dale P. Cruikshank, Astronomer and Planetary Scientist "Until now, G. P. Kuiper, the founder of modern solar system studies, has been rather inscrutable. Derek W. G. Sears's superb, even monumental, biography finally gives us the man behind the name."--William Sheehan, co-author of Discovering Pluto "Gerard Kuiper's multifaceted work invented planetary science, and Derek W. G. Sears's lively history features most of the intriguing characters who worked with, and sometimes against, Kuiper."--Charles A. Wood, Planetary Science Institute, "Sears (NASA) has provided a comprehensive biography that illustrates not only Kuiper's life but also many important astronomical discoveries of the 20th century."--CHOICE "G.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
