COMETS!: Visitors from Deep Space
"David J. Eicher has written a wonderful, up-to-date book on the history and science of comets. The book is written in a more conversational style, with occasional humor thrown in, and is not too technical. The result is a very enjoyable read for everyone."Gary W. Kronk, author of the 'Cometography: A Catalog of Comets' series"Eicher's book brings the magical world of comets to life. It is not an arcane mathematical textbook but a celebration of these slowly wandering objects."David H. Levy, author and discoverer of 22 comets, from the Foreword"... this title is very much an accessible offering for new astronomy hobbyists and general readers ... highly recommended ..."Jeffrey Beall, University of Colorado, Denver, Library Journal, September 2013"The author is enthusiastic and knowledgeable, capable of conveying his enthusiasm intelligently. He doesn't overwhelm the reader with complex mathematics but explains the science quite clearly."Rosie Cawkwell, Rosie Writes
