Venus (Worlds Beyond)

Rating:
Summary: Good Book for Kids and Adults
Review: Venus is the second planet out from the sun and the planet that orbits closet to our own planet. It is often called Earth's sister; however, numerous Russian and American robotic space probes have shown that Venus is covered with an extremely thick atmosphere (100 times the Earth's pressure) with clouds of sulfuric acid and surface temperatures that will melt lead; however, the surface of Venus is geologically very young. In this book, the author and artist of numerous astronautical, astronomical and science-friction illustrations and texts, examines the latest scientific findings and theories about our nearest planetary neighbor. In addition, the author also presents some of the mythology and historical observations associated with this planet.

While this book is geared towards teenagers, most adults would definitely learn something as well. By the way, I found this book in my library's adult section.
