Summary: Technical, but highly informative
Comment: The purpose of this book is to inform the reader about the resources of Near-Earth space (the moon, Mars and asteroids) that can be used to decrease the cost of space activities. It is composed of 33 (if I counted correctly) scientific articles, by some 86 collaborating authors. The articles cover everything from natural resources (minerals, water, etc.) to processing, lunar base siting, and terraforming.

Warning: These articles are not for the faint of heart, they are written by scientists, for scientists. They are highly technical in nature, which means that people unfamiliar with the subject matter might find them hard to understand. That said, though, this is a unique and highly informative book, one that I highly recommend.

Summary: Looking beyond the Earth
Comment: An invaluable reference, covering many aspects of potential resource use of the Moon and Mars, as well as the asteroids. Not for the technically faint-of-heart, this book covers many aspects of using off-world resources.
