Pressezitat
"The book is compact in size, its layout is crisp and stylish and the quality is exceptional. This is a book for anyone with an interest in space to drool over." BBC Sky At Night Magazine "You might have seen some of these photos elsewhere but to have them all together under one cover less so. Be in awe. We are surrounded by the most unique places we are least likely to visit in our own lifetimes." SFcrowsnest
"The book is compact in size, its layout is crisp and stylish and the quality is exceptional. This is a book for anyone with an interest in space to drool over" Books Monthly review
"Zooming out from deep time to deep space, The Planets by writer Nirmala Nataraj mines the NASA archives for a thrill-a-minute tour of our cosmic neighbourhood. It's a handsome array, from the flow of dunes in Mars's Nili Patera caldera, caught by the HIRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaisance Orbiter, to an opulently hued backlit view of Saturn captured by Cassini's wide-angle camera."
