Wonders of the Solar System

Brian Cox (2010)

This book gives an interesting overview of the Solar System from particle physicist Prof Brain Cox. His PhD was in particle physics rather than cosmology or astrophysics, and so he is not much more qualified than I am to speak on the subject.

Nonetheless, the research is good, and he is occasionally movingly poetic, particularly when talking about the Arctic circle and the Aurora Borealis. I'd give this 4/5 as it is pretty good, but not as excellent as his documentaries.
