This book was released on 1997-12 with total page 1384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The final orbit of Venus by the Magellan spacecraft in October 1994 brought to a close an exciting period of Venus reconnaissance and exploration. The scientific studies resulting from data collected by the Magellan, Galileo, and Pioneer missions are unprecedented in their detail for any planet except Earth. Venus II re-evaluates initial assessments of Venus in light of these and other spacecraft missions and ground-based observations conducted over the past 30 years. More than a hundred contributors summarize our current knowledge of the planet, consider points of disagreement in interpretation, and identify priorities for future research. Topics addressed include geology, surface processes, volcanism, tectonism, impact cratering, geodynamics, upper and lower atmospheres, and solar wind environment. The diversity of the coverage reflects the interdisciplinary nature of Venus science and the breadth of knowledge that has contributed to it. A CD-ROM developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory accompanies the book and incorporates text, graphics, video, software, and various digital products from selected contributors to the text. A multimedia interface allows users to navigate the text and the extensive databases included on the disk. Venus II is the most authoritative single volume available on the second planet. Its contents will not only help shape the goals of future Venus missions but will also enhance our understanding of current Mars explorations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venus, closest planet to the Earth, is a torrid world of extremes shrouded from direct view by dense clouds. This Atlas of Venus shows all the fascinating detail discovered on the recent Magellan mission to map the planet surface. Giving the historical background to our perception of the planet, this book clearly explains why Venus has been the goal of so many missions by both Russian and American space programmes. With the latest images from the Magellan mission, this colourful Atlas shows the beautiful landscape of Venus and its dynamic volcanism. Over 100 maps and illustrations show the dramatic beauty of this photogenic planet. Complete with detailed maps of the planet and a gazetteer of all landmarks, this is the essential reference source for all professional and amateur astronomers, and planetary scientists interested in our closest neighbour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives an account of geological aspects of windblown material. Aeolian processes play an important role in modifying the surface of the Earth, and they are also active on Mars. Additionally, they are thought to occur on Venus and possibly Titan as well. The authors describe the following aspects: wind as a geological process, the aeolian environment, physics of particle motion, aeolian abrasion and erosion; aeolian sand deposits and bedforms, interaction of wind and topography and windblown dust. A particular strength of the book is that it deals with aeolian processes in a planetary context, rather than as a purely terrestrial phenomenon. In so doing, the authors ably demonstrate how we can gain better understanding of the Earth through comparative planetology. This paperback reissue will enable the book to be used as a text for advanced students in planetary science. Special terms are defined when they are first used. There is a glossary and an exhaustive bibliography.

Book excerpt: With this book Immanuel Velikovsky first presented the revolutionary results of his 10-year-long interdisciplinary research to the public, founded modern catastrophism - based on eyewitness reports by our ancestors - shook the doctrine of uniformity of geology as well as Darwin's theory of evolution, put our view of the history of our solar system, of the Earth and of humanity on a completely new basis - and caused an uproar that is still going on today. Worlds in Collision - written in a brilliant, easily understandable and entertaining style and full to the brim with precise information - can be considered one of the most important and most challenging books in the history of science. Not without reason was this book found open on Einstein's desk after his death. For all those who have ever wondered about the evolution of the earth, the history of mankind, traditions, religions, mythology or just the world as it is today, Worlds in Collision is an absolute MUST-READ!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 176. With the search for extra-solar planets in full gear, it has become essential to gain a more detailed understanding of the evolution of the other earth-like planets in our own solar system. Space missions to Venus, including the Soviet Veneras, Pioneer Venus, and Magellan, provided a wealth of information about this planet' enigmatic surface and atmosphere, but left many fundamental questions about its origin and evolution unanswered. This book discusses how the study of Venus will aid our understanding of terrestrial and extra-solar planet evolution, with particular reference to surface and interior processes, atmospheric circulation, chemistry, and aeronomy. Incorporating results from the recent European Venus Express mission, Exploring Venus as a Terrestrial Planet examines the open questions and relates them to Earth and other terrestrial planets. The goal is to stimulate thinking about those broader issues as the new Venus data arrive.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A region-by-region condensed description of almost all of the area that was radar-photographed by Veneras 15 and 16 is presented. Using some generalizations, the diversity of terrain was reduced to a discrete set from which a geological-morphological map was constructed. The predominant type of terrain of the studied area is a plain that was tentatively subdivided into five morphological types: ridge-and-band, patchy rolling plain, dome-and-butte plain, smooth plain, and high smooth plain. Stratigraphically, the ridge-and-band plains are the oldest and the smooth plains are the youngest. The stratigraphic position of the other types is yet to be determined. Large sections of the plains show similarities to the mare-type basaltic plains of the moon, Mercury, and Mars. Other types of terrain are combinations of ridges and grooves in various patterns: linear parallel, orthogonal, diagonal or chevron-like, and chaotic. In some places the ridge-and-groove terrain is Stratigraphically below the plain material, but in other places it appears to be plain material that has been subsequently deformed. Near the eastern and western boundaries of Ishtar Terra large (several hundred kilometers in diameter) ring like features can be seen that are named coronae or ovoids. Evidence of tectonic deformation and the presence of flow-like patterns support their designation as volcano-tectonic features. Beta Regio seems to be an uplifted plain showing evidence of rifting and volcanism. All types of terrain are sparesely peppered with craters of obvious impact morphology. Their average density gives the plain an age range of 0.5 to 1 x 109 years. The fact that many impact craters are still in the pristine state indicates a very low rate of surface reworking, at least for the last 0.5 to 1 x 109 years. No evidence for water-erosion-sedimentation processes has been found. The tectonic activity of Venus has no equivalent on the moon, Mercury, or even Mars, and can be compared only with that of the Earth. Intensive horizontal deformation, previously known only on Earth, occurs on Venus, but in a characteristic Venusian style.
