Amazing Forces and Movement Book

A brief (32-pp.) summary of the data returned by the Voyager 2 probe as it passed Uranus, written in clear, concise Asimovian style for young astronomers, but also appropriate for adult readers not looking for advanced astronomical concepts.

Everything herein can be found in a Web site like nineplanets.org. The major value in this slim volume is in provoking nostalgia for those primitive times when young scholars, thirsty for knowledge, would travel to a large building'a "library"'to sift through dusty tomes, in search of precious information pressed onto leaves of foolscap. Also, this book contains the only list I've seen in print of all fifteen of Uranus's moons (as of 1994). How many characters from A Midsummer Night's Dream are enshrined in orbit about the seventh planet? Now I know.
