500 $a"This book is one of two volumes meant to capture ... the scientific legacy of the Cassini-Huygens prime mission ... The two volumes in the series Saturn from Cassini-Huygens and Titan from Cassini-Huygens are the direct products of the efforts of over 200 authors and co-authors. Though each book has a different set of three editors, the group of six editors for the two volumes has worked together ... to ensure that these two volumes are a set"--Pref.
