Beyond: A Solar System Voyage is a beautifully designed book which manages to present detailed, scientific content with a variety of density. Generously large, well chosen photographs have been included. The text flows easily in an almost story-like way. ( )

Stunning photos from years of space probes show the planets up close and personal. Text is informative, if occasionally dry. Great resource for planet reports and the brilliant photos will hook browsers.

For the proverbial coffee table, hundreds of big awesome pictures from around Sol's eponymous system.
