This book gives a detailed introduction to the thousands and
thousands of smaller bodies in the solar system. Written for
interested laymen, amateur astronomers and students it describes
the nature and origin of asteroids, dwarf planets and comets, and
gives detailed information about their role in the solar system.
The author nicely reviews the history of small-world-exploration
and describes past, current and future space craft missions
studying small worlds, and presents their results. Readers will
learn that small solar system worlds have a dramatically different
nature and appearance than the planets. Even though research
activity on small worlds has increased in the recent past many of
their properties are still in the dark and need further research.
