Review Quotes: An excellent and up-to-date book on exoplanets and how we discover them. Planet Hunting begins with an explanation of exoplanets and describes in age-appropriate detail how the transit method, "wobble method" (radial velocity method), and direct imaging work. . . .Glossary definitions on the same pages that challenging words appear are very helpful. This book is part of a Future Space series from Capstone but it's my favorite of the lot.-- "The Planetary Socieity"
