About the Book

Space technology has made it possible to view Venus through its cloudy veil. What seemed to be similar to Earth was revealed to be a planet deadly to human life. Venus is full of volcanic activity, it rains sulfuric acid and has a much heavier atmospheric pressure than Earth. However, the history written on the surface of this planet could provide a key to Earth's warmer future.

Review :
This series is one of several that have been published within the last two years on astronomy. These recent editions to this particular series are comparable to those of Franklin Watts' "Out of This World". The first half of this series was on space vehicles and space travel, which had not been addressed by any other publisher of recent date for this age level. This second half is treading into the astronomy field, and probably should not have gone here, or at least not with this author. The typography and layout are not aimed at the low reader, but the editing of the books places it at a lower level than those of Watts. These books do continue the focus of the previous six with a chapter in each book written on the various spacecraft that have visited the planets. Even these, however, are not written from the position of an impartial researcher, but rather from that of a space travel enthusiast, which is indeed the background of the author. The Watts series also includes information on the space vehicles that have visited the planets and NASA's efforts to gain more information. The difference is that their authors are journalists who have specialized in writing on science and technology with 33 books and over 100 articles to their credit, which is reflected in their writing style. The F. Watts series is also more comprehensive than this series and has the same beautiful color photographs that the Enslow series does. The Watts' series does not include a simple two page spread of basic facts about each planet like this series does, but it more than makes up for it with an annotated bibliography of Internet and book resources. The Watts' series costs less than Enslow's, but even if it were higher in cost, the Watts' series would make the better purchase., Appraisal Summer 2001 (LIBRARIAN)
