520 $aLives of the Planets is a sweeping tour of our solar system, from the sun to recently demoted Pluto, to the Kuiper Belt and beyond the edge of the interstellar void. From the Neolithic computer that is Stonehenge to Galileo's telescope to the latest NASA Mars rovers, Richard Corfield describes the colorful history of humanity's unfolding discovery of our solar system's secrets. Within this complex and variegated story, Corfield shows how the information explosion of the past twenty years provided by the new robot scouts has fundamentally shifted our understanding of the local planetary community and our place in it. In this era of unprecedented discovery, Lives of the Planets is the first comprehensive survey of this new knowledge and the history of how we got here.
