Pressezitat
From the reviews: "Io after Galileo: A New View of Jupiter's Volcanic Moon is the first book dedicated to this unique satellite, and it does justice to Io's dubious charms. ... a thoughtful collection of articles ranging from the history of Io exploration through the satellite's remarkable and hostile surface geology to its interaction with the harsh Jovian environment. ... The well-written chapters contain thorough references and will appeal to college-level students. ... an excellent reference on Io and a worthy addition to any planetary scientist's bookshelf." (Louise Prockter, The Journal of Geology, March, 2008)
