Sounds like an interesting read.
Does it go into the detailed geophysics and geochemistry or is more aimed at lay people ?
A proposal I read about once was diverting comets to collide with Mars to provide water and eventually promote a mild greenhouse effect as the atmosphere thickened and the partial pressure water vapour in the marsian atmosphere increased.
There might be a good use for all those thousands of nuke warheads the yanks, russians, french , indians, pakistanis, chinese, israelis and brits have , ie diverting comets.
