Alan Boss

Recenzje

Boss takes readers along on the roller-coaster saga of modern planet-hunting. More a history than purely about science, Boss's work gives readers a visceral sense of the highs and lows of modern research ... With clear writing and compelling characters, Bosss story is as much about how modern science gets done as it is about the fascinating results.
