Editorial Reviews
Review
'... if you want to get a basic understanding of the science behind these enigmatic objects you should get yourself a copy. I don't think that there are any better books available for the general reader.' The Journal of the British Astronomical Association

Book Description
Including the abundance of information known prior to the return of Halley's comet, as well as the new information discovered since then, the science of comets is described here by order of its discovery. From tail phenomena to coma morphology, to the most recent findings from space missions, this comprehensive text provides complete and up-to-date coverage of the subject. It will be suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of astronomy and planetary science. First Edition Hb (2001): 0-521-23906-0 First Edition Pb (2002): 0-521-27218-1
