A wonderfully illustrated account of the giant planet Jupiter.
William Sheehan is a neuroscientist, amateur astronomer, and research fellow of the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. He is the author of many books, including Planets and Perception, The Planet Mars, and, with Stephen James O'Meara, Mars: The Lure of the Red Planet. Thomas Hockey was born with a Great Red Spot on his arm; humorists might say he was "destined" to study the planet Jupiter. Hockey is professor of astronomy at the University of Northern Iowa. He is the author of six books, including Galileo's Planet.
