Review: The Exoplanet Handbook (Second Edition) - An EXCELLENT Purchase! - As a member of the ground-based photometry follow-up networks for KELT, Kepler K2 and TESS, I enthusiastically recommend this book. I purchased it as soon as it became available, having found the first edition very useful in my work. In the new edition, Michael Perryman has comprehensively updated the explosive growth in exoplanet science since 2011 (the publication date for the first edition). His research of each topic is full and complete. The written exposition is both lucid and concise; at the same time, it goes into substantial depth, so that the important details and nuances of each topic that are important to researchers in the field are covered. I found his treatment of the topic of Transits to be particularly useful to me, as it reflects the immense growth of data and findings resulting from the Kepler, Kepler K2 and ground-based survey efforts. It also sets the stage for the anticipated deluge of information to be harvested from the recently-implemented TESS mission, as well as the near-term CHEOPS, JWST, PLATO, WFIRST missions and the ground-based very large telescopes that hopefully will be operational within the next decade. The Exoplanet Handbook is my "go-to" reference work for exoplanet research. It is on the most readily accessible bookshelf in my office, and I find myself referring to it for in-depth treatment of a concept about half a dozen times per week. I strongly recommend it for professional astronomers and space scientists working in the field, as well as for advanced amateur astronomers seeking more in-depth knowledge on all topics in exoplanet science. And if I were seeking a textbook for a graduate or advanced undergraduate course on the topic, this would be the first choice.
Review: Post-Kepler update doubled in size - We used the first edition in my undergraduate coursework but it was written before Kepler's game-changing discoveries. This edition is easily twice the size and covers so much more. It's written like a real textbook, not a bunch of papers stapled together. I prefer the cohesiveness of a textbook like this.
