The book that these two authorities wrote on the planetary system was for nincompoops like me.
If I wanted / was capable of checking the references (if provided), then I should NOT be reading a book written for amateurs. I should be reading the original scientific papers, do my own research and homework and I should know how to go about finding the references. We can agree to disagree. Your perspective is one from a college environment where you teach students to write. In their education, whatever they write should be researched and referenced. Hence I agree with you here. My perspective is one of "been there and done that" with teaching, writing more that 60 scientific papers in peer reviewed journals (all referenced) and many articles for the lay person (none referenced). Now it is nice to know that other knowledgeable and scientific people also do the same as me. I do not see any references in articles in Time, Newsweek, Business Journal, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Business Week, The London Times, The Guardian, etc., etc.,!!! Kind Regards, GL Gornel Hi Gilbert, I have to disagree with you that a book about the planetary system and solar space is OK without references.
