Comets. Wanderers of the Solar System

From the author to the reader: "The book you are holding in your hands does not claim to be a complete encyclopedia or a systematic textbook. Not at all. This is a story about humanity's long journey in understanding some of the most beautiful objects in the Cosmos - comets. Before you unfolds the history of Ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, the Renaissance, the Modern era, and modern dizzying space missions. This book will not contain a single mathematical formula, but you will learn many details and specifics from more than seventy of the most modern scientific articles, compiled into a light and fascinating story that, I hope, will be interesting to all readers. Even those who are encountering comets for the first time."
