Highly sensitive, wide-field electronic detectors have enabled the discovery and the exploration of the Kuiper Belt, while fast computers allow for numerical simulations to be made with a degree of sophistication previously unimaginable. Additionally, the perception of the Solar system in the bigger context of the galactic disk is changing, particularly as planets encircling other stars are detected. This volume, reviewing what is known about the Solar system, is therefore extremely timely, and the style it is written in conveys the excitement this field of research holds.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2007-12-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783540719571\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-540-71958-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 258.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45658460717196,"sku":"9783540719571","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540719571.jpg?v=1768311091","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783540719571","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
