Comets are always very impressive phenomena. Their appearances at
regular, but mostly irregular, times excite people who see them.
Astronomers have the obvious advantage of being able to see more of
comets, and to study them. Their enthusiasm is reflected in the 50
papers in this book, written by more than 90 experts. The reviews
in this book clearly describe a landmark in the history of cometary
studies. Knowledge gathered up to and including Comet Halley are
presented in two volumes. The first volume is about general aspects
of observing and studying comets, where they originate and how
their evolution develops. The second volume goes into the details
of what a comet is: the nucleus, the coma, cometary dust, plasmas
and magnetic fields. The book ends with a reflection by Fred
Whipple about Comets in the Post-Halley Era. The book discusses all
aspects of comets and is therefore suitable for use in graduate
level courses. All astronomers and geophysicists interested in
comets will find very useful and well-presented information in this
book.
