Moore on Mercury The Planet and the Missions

From the reviews:

"Because it is never very far from the sun in our sky, Mercury is one of the least studied planets, by amateurs or professionals. Astronomer Moore’s compact book … provides a concise summary of some of mercury’s unique properties. … The book summarizes that mission and offers a mini-atlas of the planet’s surface and a short prospectus for the Mercury Messenger mission on its way now. … General readers; lower-division undergraduates; two-year technical program students." (T. D. Oswalt, Choice, Vol. 45 (1), 2007)

"Moore on Mercury provides the reader with a concise summary of all things Mercurian on the eve of this historic encounter. … it provides an excellent introduction to the planet, and the author does a fine job of placing our study of this world in its proper historical context." (Brendan K Ward, Astronomy and Space, May, 2007)
