Book Synopsis The Twin Sister Planets Venus and Earth by : Robert J. Malcuit
Download or read book The Twin Sister Planets Venus and Earth written by Robert J. Malcuit and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains how it came to be that Venus and Earth, while very similar in chemical composition, zonation, size and heliocentric distance from the Sun, are very different in surface environmental conditions. It is argued here that these differences can be accounted for by planetoid capture processes and the subsequent evolution of the planet-satellite system. Venus captured a one-half moon-mass planetoid early in its history in the retrograde direction and underwent its “fatal attraction scenario” with its satellite (Adonis). Earth, on the other hand, captured a moon-mass planetoid (Luna) early in its history in prograde orbit and underwent a benign estrangement scenario with its captured satellite.

Book excerpt: TWO PLANETS * EIGHT STORIES * ONE TRUTH A collection of stories from our sister planet Ever since residents of Earth have been aware of other planets, they have believed that the planet Venus is uninhabitable. Deep-space analyses have revealed that Venus, though identical to Earth in size and shape, is an entirely unlivable planet. Its terrain is dusty and barren, and its surface reaches temperatures of 480° Celsius. But unknown to anyone on Earth... This information is completely wrong. Venus is home to an advanced race of scientifically-minded humanoids who have spent millennia engaged in experiments and technological discoveries. And they have more than a passing interest in their neighbor planet, Earth, because... Venusians are responsible for life on Earth. Venus itself is a planet of long days and nights. A year on Venus is made up of just under two Venus days, and its six seasons include a volcano season and a season when acid rain falls continuously. The Venusians are constantly experimenting, both on their own planet and on Earth. In Twin Earth Anthology, you will read tales of strange wild beasts, adventure, domed communities, friendship, secret experiments, and self-discovery. Written for preteens and teens, the stories in this book will delight, amaze, and provoke thought. 8 FABULOUS STORIES 50 Days of Rain -- Caitlin L. McCulloch Rescued -- Chelsea E.

Book Synopsis Venus Revealed by : David H. Grinspoon
Download or read book Venus Revealed written by David H. Grinspoon and published by Addison Wesley Publishing Company. This book was released on 1997-01-05 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Early robot probes sent by Russian and American scientists had given us some tantalizing but fragmentary glimpses of the surface and atmosphere, hinting at some of the most exotic conditions seen in the solar system. Magellan showed a planet full of beautiful landscapes, some eerily familiar and some completely unexpected - a world of active volcanoes, shining mountains, and even river valleys carved by torrents of flowing lava. Venus may once have had a wet, temperate, comfortable climate, much like Earth's. What happened to turn it into a hostile, burning, acid world? Our twin has important tales to tell us regarding several of Earth's most pressing environmental problems, including ozone destruction, global warming, and acid rain. In Venus Revealed, David Grinspoon makes a compelling case for comparative planetology as an important tool for gaining knowledge that is vital for our long-term survival on our own planet. He re-examines the uniqueness of our own Earth in light of the recent Magellan findings, while also raising the provocative questions: Did a runaway greenhouse effect transform Venus into the burning oven she is today? By treating Venus as a "controlled experiment," what can we learn from her that will help us survive on Earth? Grinspoon tackles these and other long-debated questions while explaining the incredible scientific advances made possible by the Magellan space probe."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis The Cause of Menopause & Mercury Is Not a Planet by : Toby L. Murray RMT
Download or read book The Cause of Menopause & Mercury Is Not a Planet written by Toby L. Murray RMT and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-07-25 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work Toby L. Murray RMT connects human anatomy and physiology to the Inverse Square Law and the Biological Tides Theory in support of the hypothesis that the Moons gravity generates a `Monthly Cranial Respiration Cycle` in cerebral spinal fluid which induces the secretion of neuro-endocrine hormones thus regulating bodily functions such as menstruation. This hypothesis further proposes that as the Moon steadily moves further away from Earth in a process known as the Lunar-recession the Monthly Cranial Respiration Cycle diminishes leading to conditions such as menopause, disease, and aging in-general. The author combines the ideas of the late astronomers Drs. Thomas Van Flandern and Robert Harrington with Newtonian Mechanics and General Relativity to demonstrate that Mercury is the moon to the planet Venus which separated from Venus in a process similar to the Moons recession from Earth. The resulting new models of the solar and planetary systems are that of atoms of eight `life essential` elements with properties belonging to the group of non-metals on the Periodic Table of Elements.

Download or read book Geoforming Mars written by Robert Malcuit and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an exercise in theoretical planetology, presenting five different scenarios to assess the evolution of habitable conditions on Mars to assess planetary terraforming potential and to give insight into the ongoing search for habitable exoplanets. Four of the scenarios involve Martian satellite capture models, in which gravitational capture via tidal deformation and energy dissipation processes are measured to predict a pathway of biological evolution, while the fifth scenario analyzes the possible model that led to the Mars that we have today (i.e. with no life forms). In ten chapters, readers will learn how a Mars-like terrestrial planet can be transformed into a habitable planet, and what conditions must be assessed when searching for exoplanets in a star-centered orbit to support life. The book is intended for planetologists, and general enthusiasts of planetary evolution and our solar system.

Book Synopsis Venus Revealed by : David Harry Grinspoon
Download or read book Venus Revealed written by David Harry Grinspoon and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 1998-04-10 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until very recently, all we really knew about Venus, our nearest planetary neighbor, was that it was roughly the same size and mass as the earth and was surrounded by a thick atmosphere. Then, in 1989, American scientists launched Magellan—the spacecraft that would revolutionize our vision of this mysterious planet. Venus Revealed is the first book to explain the breathtaking results of this mission, which unveiled a Venusian world of active volcanoes, shining mountains, and river valleys carved by torrents of flowing lava. At one time, Venus may have even had a wet, temperate climate, much like Earth's. What happened to turn it into a hostile, burning acid world? The answer could very well help us solve some of our most pressing environmental problems—from global warming to acid rain. In Venus Revealed, David Grinspoon eloquently argues that studying our exotic twin will inevitable teach us more about ourselves.

Book Synopsis Earth, Our Living Planet by : Philippe Bertrand
Download or read book Earth, Our Living Planet written by Philippe Bertrand and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earth is, to our knowledge, the only life-bearing body in the Solar System. This extraordinary characteristic dates back almost 4 billion years. How to explain that Earth is teeming with organisms and that this has lasted for so long? What makes Earth different from its sister planets Mars and Venus? The habitability of a planet is its capacity to allow the emergence of organisms. What astronomical and geological conditions concurred to make Earth habitable 4 billion years ago, and how has it remained habitable since? What have been the respective roles of non-biological and biological characteristics in maintaining the habitability of Earth? This unique book answers the above questions by considering the roles of organisms and ecosystems in the Earth System, which is made of the non-living and living components of the planet. Organisms have progressively occupied all the habitats of the planet, diversifying into countless life forms and developing enormous biomasses over the past 3.6 billion years. In this way, organisms and ecosystems "took over" the Earth System, and thus became major agents in its regulation and global evolution. There was co-evolution of the different components of the Earth System, leading to a number of feedback mechanisms that regulated long-term Earth conditions. For millennia, and especially since the Industrial Revolution nearly 300 years ago, humans have gradually transformed the Earth System. Technological developments combined with the large increase in human population have led, in recent decades, to major changes in the Earth's climate, soils, biodiversity and quality of air and water. After some successes in the 20th century at preventing internationally environmental disasters, human societies are now facing major challenges arising from climate change. Some of these challenges are short-term and others concern the thousand-year evolution of the Earth's climate. Humans should become the stewards of Earth.
