Condensation of primitive objects in
Trade Review
"This book reviews our current understanding of the fundamental processes, which took a cloud of gas and dust in the solar nebula to the highly differentiated worl we know in a relatively short period of time (probably less than 100 million years, or about 2% of the age of the solar system)."
"The papers follow a standard scientific research style - clear, but terse and to the point with frequent use of acronyms, and an expectation of considerable subject matter knowledge from the reader."
