520    "Orbiting at the edge of the outer Solar System, Pluto is 
       an intriguing object in astronomy. Since the fascinating 
       events surrounding its discovery, it has helped increase 
       our understanding of the origin and evolution of the Solar
       System, and raised questions about the nature and benefits
       of scientific classification. This is a timely and 
       exciting account of Pluto and its satellites. The author 
       uses Pluto as a case study to discuss discovery in 
       astronomy, how remote astronomical bodies are investigated,
       and the role of classification in science by discussing 
       Pluto's recent classification as a dwarf planet. Besides 
       Pluto, the book also explores the rich assortment of 
       bodies that constitute the Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt, of which
       Pluto is the innermost member. Richly illustrated, this 
       text is written for general readers, amateur astronomers 
       and students alike. Boxed text provides more advanced

       deeper into the subject"--|cProvided by publisher.
