This revised edition places a unique emphasis on all the new
results from ground-based, satellites and space missions --
detection of molecule H2 and prompt emission lines of OH for the
first time; discovery of X-rays in comets; observed diversity in
chemical composition among comets; the puzzle of the constancy of
spin temperature; the well-established mineralogy of cometary dust;
extensive theoretical modeling carried out for understanding the
observed effects; the similarity in the mineralogy of dust in
circumstellar shell of stars, comets, meteorites, asteroids and
IDPs, thus indicating the generic relationship between them.
