Synopsis
Hurricanes so enormous that the earth itself could be lost in one; a volcano larger than the state of Missouri and higher than Everest; a planet with a billion moons; a planet that rotates on its side; worlds made of solid ice; a world where it rains gasoline. These are not inventions of fantasy or science fiction, but are places that really exist-in our own solar system. Now with 190,000 copies in print, here is a spectacular Grand Tour of the solar system featuring a unique blend of science and art-photographs along with dazzling full-color paintings, drawings, and maps based on years of astronomer William Hartmann's research, personal observation, and interviews with colleagues. In text and diagrams, too, "The Grand Tour" explains how the strange and uncanny worlds on the journeys came to be, and what it would be like to actually set foot upon them today. The book includes an atlas of the planets and their satellites, and of the Earth's moon. Complete with a selection of previously unpublished photographs taken by the Apollo astronauts, and by the Mariner, Viking, and Pioneer planetary probes, "The Grand Tour" is unique and breathtaking, majestic and eerie, and wonderful, taking the reader to more, and to the beyond.

    Item arrived quite promptly. It was as described and in excellent condition. It was packaged very sturdily and with care to ensure safe arrival. I really appreciate that the checkout system itself kept track of any discounts that should be applied so I didn't have to do any complicated math to get the price I expected. Definitely would buy from this seller again with confidence.
