Review
From the reviews:
"The story ... told in this translation of a French book in vivid language and with plenty of colour illustrations, with careful, explanations of terms to make the account accessible to non-specialists. ... this book is a great introduction to the exciting topic of planetary systems beyond our own." (Fred Taylor, BBC Sky at Night, August, 2007)
"New Worlds discusses theories of planetary system formation – what our own solar system tells us, and how that has been changed by the new systems being found today. ... New Worlds asks questions about life in the universe – how we define it, how to search for it, and where we might find it in other star systems. ... The book is recommended for astronomy and general science collections." (David White, ACADEMIA, December, 2007)
