内容説明
This work on the geology of Venus has been written in the light of the US Magellan probe in 1990. This revealed many unsuspected details of the planet's topography and geology through images of amazing quality. Drawing on not only the Magellan probe, but also data gathered by the Soviet expedition which landed a spacecraft and conducted geochemical investigations, the book describes the topography, geomorphology and structure of the planet, and also encompasses geophysical arguments about details of the atmospheric conditions. This work is aimed at a wide readership, ranging from those with a serious amateur interest in astronomy, to students of planetary geology in undergraduate courses, and researchers in the fields of planetary geology, geomorphology and other subfields of the Earth and space sciences.
