The Pluto files

This book is a summary of the recent kerfuffle and hoopla over the status of Pluto. There is an excellent history of Pluto, from Planet X (and why that was important) to the diminishing size of Pluto to it's eventual classification as a Kuiper Belt Object. There are also excerpts from humorous (and serious) letters and emails, and a good overview of the Hayden Planetarium decision to classify objects orbiting our sun. There is unfortunately quite more of that last then there needs to be, and the repetition of that knocks a star off what could have been an excellent small tome.
