Recenzii
'… 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 and Telescope
'… a valuable reference for scientists and historians in many fields.' Choice
'… a treasure trove of information and each entry stands on its own.' 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

'… 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.' Geological Magazine
'The authors are to be congratulated on providing a resource that will be referenced for years to come.' Jonathan Shanklin, Journal of the British Astronomical Association
'Cometography will be valuable to historians of science as well as providing amateur and professional astronomers with a definitive reference on comets through the ages.' Spaceflight
