{"product_id":"venus-revealed-david-harry-grinspoon-9780201328394","title":"Venus Revealed: A New Look Below the Clouds of Our Mysterious Twin Planet","description":"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. \u003ci\u003eVenus Revealed \u003c\/i\u003eis 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 \u003ci\u003eVenus Revealed, \u003c\/i\u003e David Grinspoon eloquently argues that studying our exotic twin will inevitable teach us more about ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Harry Grinspoon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0201328399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780201328394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.02w x 1.05d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/1999 pg. 677","brand":"David Harry Grinspoon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988095926527,"sku":"9780201328394","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43fe5bfd-6b18-4bd8-9cb8-613ffc30e813.jpg?v=1683292596","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/venus-revealed-david-harry-grinspoon-9780201328394","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
