Mr. Serviss's new book on "Other Worlds, their Nature and
Possibilities in the Light of the Latest Discoveries," summarizes
what is known. With helpful illustrations, the most interesting
facts about the planets Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, etc., as well
as about the nearest of all other worlds, the moon, are presented
in a popular manner, and always from the point of view of human
interest--a point that is too seldom taken by writers on science.

astronomy, one of the most far-reaching of the
sciences."--_Milwaukee Journal._
