Review: Titan Unveiled: Saturn’s Mysterious Moon Explored
Titan Unveiled: Saturn’s Mysterious Moon Explored by Ralph Lorenz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
There’s a terrible irony associated with being a student of physics: The vast majority of casual science reading is either coloring books for preschoolers or graduate-level textbooks.
This is just one reason that Titan Unveiled is exceptional. It’s delightfully conversational and sufficiently technical but not too inside-baseball that you need an aerospace engineering degree to follow along. If ever it was appropriate to make this analogy, planetary scientists call this the Goldilocks Zone.
When I turned the page to see that there was an afterword in this book, I shouted, "Ooh, a bonus chapter!" I really enjoyed it cover to cover and I was sad to see it end.
