Gerard P. Kuiper and the Rise of Modern Planetary Science

Astronomer Gerard P. Kuiper ignored the traditional boundaries of his subject. Using telescopes and the laboratory, he made the solar system a familiar, intriguing place. Sears shows a brilliant but at times unpopular man who attracted as much dislike as acclaim.
