Probing the New Solar System

[Enchilada]

I notice there is a new book for published by CSIRO publishing entitled "Probing the New Solar System." by John Williamson. (pp.312) January 2009. Cost is stated at $39.95.

General information on this book can be found at;
http://www.publish.csiro.au/pid/5922.htm

And small sample at;
http://www.publish.csiro.au/samples/...r%20System.pdf

This looks like a good introductory book on the Solar System. Anyone bought and read it, and any advice on the general usefulness of it?

(Aghrrrrrh! Pity the CSIRO address is in presently in black 'n white Collingwood, Victoria.
Must be a cruel joke, if you ask me. )

Note: I have no association with the CSIRO Publishing nor John Williamson. I only offer this comment for readers in Australia published books, and not to aiming for promotion - at least under ISS guidelines and TOS.

Don't worry, no Collingwood supporters would have been involved in anything remotely scientific.

oh, i see !!

i get confused sometimes here in Australia, there is a real economy of language, any sport involving a ball is called 'footy' and its equally more confusing, as the ball is carried, and not really kicked.

football (as the other 6.5 billion people on the planet call it , soccer to you!!) is the only mans game

this is where i get slated !!
