This book covers the most recent ideas about the nature and dynamics of comets,
including a thorough discussion on Oort cloud dynamics which has not received due attention in other books on the subject.
It also discusses the most relevant aspects of the physics and chemistry of comet nuclei, highlighting their importance as
relics of the protoplanetary disk and, perhaps, as carriers of water and organics that permitted the development of life on
Earth. The book contains several tables with useful data, and an ample bibliography covering the most recent work as well
as some historical key contributions to the subject. It may be suitable as a textbook for graduate students with some basic
knowledge of celestial mechanics and astrophysics, as well as a consult book for comet researchers, or researchers from other
related fields willing to start working on comets, or get an updated view of the subject.
