About the Book: 

In the last few years we have seen most of the planets in our solar system in true close-up for the first time.  This explosion of scientific knowledge, the result of a series of spectacular space missions, now enables us to understand much that has puzzled man for centuries. 

Traditionally, books on the planets have been written by astronomers, but this Pelican Original comes from a geologist at the Open University whose ‘down-to-earth' explanations of the geography, geology and meteorology of each of the planets transforms what were once obscure discs of light into real new worlds.  Like Peter Francis’s previous Pelican, Volcanoes, this book will be welcomed by general readers and students alike.
