Librarians, this is the book you've been waiting for to update your outdated solar system shelf with the latest word on Pluto. Mission to Pluto is comprehensive, covering Pluto's discovery, early observation, and exploration and early science results from New Horizons.

The book does a good job of confining the tiresome planethood debate to a single page, and spending the rest of its 72 pages on the exciting adventure and fantastic science of the New Horizons mission to Pluto...and beyond.… (altro)
Some absolutely lovely photos and explanations about Biosphere 2.
This was a good book to read. It had alot of interesting facts about all the different types of storms. It also gave an inside view from a scientist that studies tornadoes and storms.

I appreciated the geographic information in the reference section.
The physical book is pleasing with its soft flexible cover, metal-edged corners, and color-coded pages.
