The Fundamentals of Modern Astrophysics A Survey of the Cosmos from the Home Planet to Space Frontiers

“I found the eight chapters on planetary science quite well written … . The book has a reasonable balance between text, pictures, and diagrams, and is quite well narrated. There are plenty of colour pictures and illustrations. … target reader would be one who wants a quick overview of the history and current status of planetary-science research.” (Anders Jerkstrand, The Observatory, April, 2016)

“This interesting book is addressed to people who want to have more insight of the space environment, from our home planet to the edge of the Universe. Topics are discussed in an accessible way, without any mathematical load which makes it accessible to many potential readers. A final section incorporating many additional references of interest is included for those who might need more in-depth detail.” (Josep J. Masdemont, zbMATH 1332.85001, 2016)
