Kritik
"This new book is a very welcome and timely addition to the collection. ... The book goes into a lot of detail, some of it at PhD level, but since it is written by a single author, it all fits together logically and so it can be read and understood by more-general readers. ... book has something which I wish other authors would adopt. ... This is an excellent, comprehensive, and up-to-date description of comets, and I thoroughly recommend it." (Nick James, The Observatory, Vol. 141 (1284), October, 2021)mehr
