Couverture rigide. Zustand: Très bon. Edition originale. ** France : Par défaut Livraison STANDARD en Relais Colis / PRIORITAIRE : Livraison à domicile ** Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1988. Pictorial Hardcover, thick 4to (8.4 x 11.02 x 1.97 in.), 984 pages. With numerous figures and illustrations. A comprehensive and detailed book, a full report on the current state of scientific knowledge on Halley's Comet, with articles from the contributions to the Symposium on the Exploration of Halley's Comet, held in Heidelberg in October 1986. The 1985/86 apparition of Halley's Comet turned out to be the most important apparition of a comet ever. It provided a worldwide science community with a wealth of exciting new discoveries, like the first image of a cometary nucleus. Halley's Comet is the brightest periodic comet, and the most famous of the 750 known comets. With its 76-year period, its recent appearance was truly a "once-in-a-lifetime" observational opportunity. Light shelf wear, corners slightly bumped. Pages clean. A very good copy of this out-of-print book. *//* Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1988. Fort cartonnage in-4 (21,5 x 28,5 cm), 1er plat illus. en coul., 984 pp. Nombr. figures et illustrations in-texte. Un livre complet et détaillé, un rapport complet sur l'état actuel des connaissances scientifiques sur la comète de Halley, avec des articles de contributions au Symposium sur l'Exploration de la Comète de Halley, tenu à Heidelberg en octobre 1986. L'apparition en 1985/86 de la comète de Halley s'est avérée être d'une importance majeure. Elle a fourni à la communauté scientifique mondiale une foule de nouvelles découvertes passionnantes, comme la toute première image d'un noyau cométaire. La comète de Halley est la comète périodique la plus brillante et la plus célèbre des 750 comètes connues. Avec sa période de 76 ans, son apparition récente était vraiment une occasion d'observation unique dans une vie. Petites traces de frottement sur la couv., coins très légèrement pliés.
