The observation and understanding of extra-solar planetary systems has become a very exciting topic that poses challenges to many fields of human knowledge. A few years after the first observational evidence of planets outside the Solar System, this field of research has experienced spectacular developments. One of the characteristics of the field is that it draws together researchers from a variety of fields: astrophysics, geophysics, biochemistry, etc., and opens up new areas for their interactions. This book sets out a synthesis of the advances and points of view of this adventure. Young students, researchers, engineers involved or about to become involved in this challenging quest for extra-solar planets will benefit by reading such a synthetic review.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice intro,
By Bertil Olsson (State College, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Planets Outside the Solar System: Theory and Observations (NATO Science Series C: (closed)) (Paperback)
A nice collection of texts treating the state of the art in extrasolar planetary science, written by people who truly enjoyed themselves at a meeting in a relaxed environment. The only flaw would be that some interesting material mentioned during the meeting never got into the book (my own paper got included, though).
