cspg Member Posts: 6210 From: Geneva, Switzerland Registered: May 2006	posted 12-04-2017 08:04 AM The Planets: Photographs from the Archives of NASA by Nirmala Nataraj This magnificent volume offers a rich visual tour of the planets in our solar system. More than 200 breathtaking photographs from the archives of NASA are paired with extended captions detailing the science behind some of our cosmic neighborhood's most extraordinary phenomena. Images of newly discovered areas of Jupiter, fiery volcanoes on Venus, and many more reveal the astronomical marvels of space in engrossing detail. Anyone with an interest in science, astronomy, and the mysteries of the universe will delight in this awe-inspiring guide to the wonders of the solar system. Hardcover: 256 pages Chronicle Books (November 7, 2017) ISBN-10: 145215936X ISBN-13: 978-1452159362

This is exactly what a coffee-table photo-book should be. Images and accompanying text are on the same page so you can look at the image and read about what you're seeing. Other books (like Mars: The Pristine Beauty of the Red Planet) have a photo section then a text section so you end up flipping pages back and forth of large and heavy book. This is quite detrimental to appreciating the book.
