Great Comets

All comets are great, but some are greater than others, as are book about comets, and this is one of those. If you've ever seen any of the celebrated comets of the past -- Ikeya-Seki, West, or Hale-Bopp -- or if you hope to someday, I sincerely recommend Great Comets. It's a great (there's that word again) resource that serves not only to remind us of why we find comets visually compelling, but how important they are in helping astronomers understand the evolution of the solar system and the role they may have played in Earth's life origins. It also features some great (oops!) beautiful comet photos. An excellent reference, too, on upcoming comet missions. Bravo!
