Introduction to the Space Environment

I feel that this book has the bachelor level college class status. It gives a good overall definition of the space environment and is easy to understand. The book does not go in-depth but is great to keep around as a "space environment dictionary". It has excellent illustrations and graphs that relate to the contents of the book and are explained well.
