"""In this spellbinding survey, [Joshua Winn] . . . proves more than up to the task of making astrophysics accessible and enjoyable for lay readers. . . . This inspires wonder at the eccentricities of the universe."" * Publishers Weekly * ""Due to Winn's straightforward writing style and the book's helpful charts, this work is ideal for non-scientists or beginning astronomers.""---Dave Pugl, Library Journal ""Belying its modest title, Joshua Winn’s The Little Book of Exoplanets is an extraordinary, far-reaching astronomy book that describes the exploration of planets outside our solar system.""---Kristen Rabe, Foreword Reviews ""The Little Book of Exoplanets opens up a Universe that is extraordinary and enticing . . . .It is refreshing that Winn trusts his audience enough to dive into the data and show them the true work of an astronomer: making sense of figures. It is this focus on process that gives this work the potential to be an exoplanet classic with staying power.""---Emma Johanna Puranen, BBC Sky At Night"
