AWESOME PICTURES OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM. It's outdated information but still informative and most of all, the pictures are why any astronomy aficionado should pick up this book.
Neat little non-linear cruise through the solar system courtesy of NASA images and some National Geographic writing. A bit like a long NatGeo article. Picked it up on a whim, for the gorgeous pictures. Then realized that most of the images were ones I had already seen a bunch of times (e.g., that famous Voyager snapshot of Saturn that appears on the cover of Delerium's album "Spheres"). The book shows its age a bit but isn't without some merits for someone such as yours truly that doesn't necessarily want all the hard science.
