The Pluto Files
In August 2006, the International Astronomical Union voted Pluto out of planethood. It is a wonder Pluto has any fans, yet during the debate over Pluto's status, people rallied behind the extraterrestrial underdog. This book explores the history of planet classification and America's obsession with the 'planet' that has been judged a dwarf.
