Recenzii
From reviews of Cometography: 'What he did is phenomenal.' Daniel Green, Daily Guide
'… an indispensable reference for historians, comet researchers, and true enthusiasts of the field … the book's value is inestimable and I can only give [it] my highest praise.' Sky Telescope
'… a valuable reference for scientists and historians in many fields.' Choice
'… a treasure trove of information and each entry stands on its own.' The Journal of the British Astronomical Association
'Cometography has been beautifully produced, and it is a thorough, definitive, well referenced, comprehensive, and easily accessible work of scholarship. For historians, scientific or otherwise, this will be a 'first stop' for information about ancient comets. Looking into the future, it will be a rare month that I will not refer to it.' David W. Hughes, The Observatory
'This marvellous book was clearly a labour of love. It is a treasure, and will be appreciated for much longer than the century it covers.' New Scientist
'… sure to become the standard cometary reference source … Every library with a comet section should invest in the Cometography series. Congratulations to Gary Kronk on a lifetime of scholarly achievement.' Contemporary Physics
'… ambitious attempt to catalogue all recorded comets through history … the sheer volume of information contained in this book … is a very useful work of reference.' Journal of Geological Magazine
'… the most complete and comprehensive collection of comet data available …' Spaceflight
