Unmasking Europa, by Richard Greenberg

I read this non-fiction book as background for a potential adventure book for kids (my own kids are into space right now).  Unfortunately, it didn't give too many details on the planet that I didn't already know.  Instead, the book focused on the battle between Greenberg's academic lab and NASA.  While it was interesting to see how "big science" is inefficient and sometimes downright corrupt, I was more interested in the subtitle of the book, "The Search for Life on Jupiter's Ocean Moon" and in this regard the book delivered very little.
