[ The Case for Pluto - How a Little Planet Made a Big Difference ]
The Case for Pluto
by Boyle, Alan.
English | 2009 | ISBN: B00DNKYFL4 | Wiley; 1st edition | 281 pages | pdf | 2 MB
In support of Pluto-the cutest and most unfairly treated planet Pity poor Pluto: It's a planet that was discovered because of a mistake, a planet that turned out not to be a planet at all, thanks to a still-disputed decision made in 2006. And yet, Pluto is the planet best-loved by Americans, especially children, one that may have contained the building blocks of life billions of years ago and may well serve as life's last redoubt billions of years from now.
In The Case for Pluto, award-winning science writer Alan Boyle traces the tiny planet's ups and downs, its strange appeal, the reasons behind its demotion, and the reasons why it should be set back in the planetary pantheon.
- Tells the compelling story of Pluto's discovery and how it became a cultural icon
- Makes the case for Pluto as planet, countering the books that argue against it
- Comes in a small, friendly package - just like Pluto - and features a handsome design, making it a great gift
The Case for Pluto is the must-read tale of a cosmic underdog that has captured the hearts of millions: an endearing little planet that is changing the way we see the universe beyond our backyard.
