      abstract = {This well illustrated book presents a compact history of  the Solar System from its dusty origins 4,600,000 years ago  to the present day. Its primary aim is to show how the  planets and their satellites, comets, meteors,  interplanetary dust, solar radiation and cosmic rays  continually interact, sometimes violently, and it reflects  humanity's progress in exploring and interpreting this  history. The book is intended for a general readership at a  time when human and robotic exploration of space is often  in the news and should also appeal to students at all  levels. It covers the essentials but refers to a large  literature which can be accessed via the internet.},
