Dava Sobel is the best-selling author of Longitude and a science writer of such renown that she has an asteroid named for her. In this book she indulges a life-long ‘planet fetish’, giving a personal account of her response to each planet in the Solar System, while presenting essential information about these neighbouring worlds and illuminating often difficult astronomical concepts. Slightly off-mint and felt-tip mark on lower trimmed edge.
