A review of David A. Weintraub’s Is Pluto a Planet?

This is the first review of the literature on Pluto. Here I look at David Weintraub’s Is Pluto a Planet? Weintraub supports Pluto’s planetary status and is, probably, still upset that the IAU’s definition of a planet excludes Pluto.

What’s so Confidential about Pluto?
