From the reviews:
"Irwin [.] has done an outstanding job of presenting material geared to upper-division undergraduates and beginning graduate students." (J.R. Kraus (University of Denver), Choice Feb. 2004)
"The intended readers are senior students in physics or astronomy or graduate students in space sciences. The author certainly meets the expectations of such a reader and those of a potential lecturer on planetary science. The book contains both enough introductory and advanced materials to satisfy both the reader and the lecturer. . The book contains many useful tables with numerous relative to the giant planets, many nice black and white figures and photographs, and six pages of very attractive color photographs." (Fernande Grandjean, Physicalia Magazine, Vol. 29 (2), 2007)
"This book meets a long-standing need for a textbook of the atmospheric physics and chemistry of . giant planets. . a guide that makes the field more accessible is particularly welcome. . aimed at final-year undergraduates and graduate students, it assumes more physics and mathematics than most BAA members will have (to the level of vector calculus), but it is also a good reference work. . the point of a textbook is to give the basis for understanding new developments, and this one succeeds admirably." (John H. Rogers, Journal of British Astronomy Association, Vol. 116 (5), 2006)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
