Planet Quest: The Epic Discovery of Alien Solar Systems Book
"Someday, astronomers knew, their great quest to find alien worlds would finally be fulfilled, and the first planets beyond those of the solar system would at last emerge from hiding, hailing a new era of astronomical discovery."

Ken Croswell gives a remarkably clear exposition of what we know about planets in our solar system and elsewhere, how they are discovered, what kind of people have looked for them, and the exceptional number of embarrassing mistakes they've made--and how many surprises nature has dished out in a discipline that's still very young.Read More
