Venus Revealed: A New Look Below the Clouds of Our Mysterious Twin Planet by David Grinspoon

5.0

Great overview of not only the scientific understanding of Venus but also its history with man - the myths, the stories, the misconceptions. Very entertaining reading (don't miss the humor in the footnotes) and geared to the layman. Some detailed scientific areas that will satisfy those who know a lot about Venus already and great history of our work to uncover its mysteries. I love astronomy, science, and history - so this was a great reference and overview of Venus - a subject that is bigger now that Phosphene was detected in its atmosphere, but still a subject that is hard to find good books about from someone who was involved in researching the subject. Highly recommended.
