Overview

This two-volume work is a separately-sold subset of the four-volume Space Exploration reference intended for a middle school audience (a fifth volume--a slim comprehensive index--is also sold separately). Presenting key developments, discussion ranges from ancient views of a sun-centered universe to current understanding of planetary motion and gravity. Making the work accessible to a young readership, each volume devotes about 20% of its pages to an identical timeline, glossary, bibliography, and index; plenty of b&w illustrations support the text.
