This review is from: A Look at Uranus (Out of This World) (Paperback)
I would have to say that this is the best information book on uranus that i have ever read. I recently had a project on Uranus and i went to this book for information and it had everything about it! Best Uranus book you will ever read.

WOW on Uranus!,
By Han Zuilhof (the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Look at Uranus (Out of This World) (Paperback)
I've up to now only read one astronomy book as a page-turner, without putting it down: this one! It is clear, fun to read, is stuffed with details without loosing sight of the main things, has great pictures, avoids unneccesary jargon,... In short: super! I hope Tocci will write about more planets!
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: A Look at Uranus (Out of This World) (Paperback)
Covers all the bases, but I guess we don't know that much about this planet.
