Uranus: the Planet, Rings and Satellites (ellis Horwood Library of Space Science and Space Technology)

A comprehensive account of the farthest of the naked-eye planets, from its 1781 discovery to the Voyager 2 encounter in January 1986. Of particular interest to professionals and graduate and undergraduate students in astronomy, but also accessible to the general reader who doesn't mind skipping a few technical passages. Fascinating photographs. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
