Book Reviews of The Planets
Book Review: A beautiful tour of the solar system.
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book. Dava Sobels weaves science and prose to descibe the Solar System in a unique and beautiful way. My favorite is the way she decribes the history of the planet Mars from the perspecitve of the famous Mars rock thought to contain evidence of past life. I could not put this book down.
