Worlds BeyondThe Thrill of Planetary Exploration As Told by Leading ExpertsEdited by S. Alan SternTen planetary scientists describe their favorite planet, what they have discov-ered, and what drives them to explore. Each tells a personal story, rangingacross the breadth of the solar system—from hellish Mercury to the snows ofPluto; from telescopic to robotic exploration; from adventures in Antarcticato painting planetary landscapes; from the frustration of failure to the joy ofsuccess. Worlds Beyond is the third in a series of books bringing togetherleading space scientists to describe their work. 160 pp./30 halftones/8 line diagrams/3 tables0-521-81299-2/Hb/$55.000-521-52001-0/Pb/$21.00
