Dava Sobel's new book, The Planets
'The Planets,' by Dava Sobel
=================
The author "has aimed 'The Planets' squarely at a mass
audience receptive to the romance of the heavens, ready to
have its mind boggled by weird and wonderful facts, and eager
to coo and trill over verbal baby pictures of peppy little
Mercury and seductive Venus," writes William Grimes.
