Recensioner i media

From the reviews: "Uranus, Neptune and Pluto and How to Observe Them is truly an enthusiast's book, aimed at the serious amateur astronomer. Schmude ... reviews in detail the findings from Voyager as well as Earth-based telescopes such as the Hubble Space Telescope. He does this in a tone that is accessible to nonscientists, offering them the latest information as well as allowing them to tailor their observation ... about these fascinating objects. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readership levels." (E. S. Perlman, Choice, Vol. 46 (7), March, 2009)
