From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
Grade 4-6-The author of several books on earth science takes readers further afield, offering a series of quick visits to "some of the best-and some of the worst-places in our solar system." Stopping at each planet, plus selected moons, Barnes-Svarney focuses on extremes-the surface temperature of Venus, for instance, or Saturn's 1,000 mph winds-and unusual sights, such as Mimas's huge crater or the "Gumbly feature" on Venus. The illustrations, all photos from NASA and other space agencies, are reproduced in glowing colors, with some of the composites and false-color images noted as such. Despite a predeliction for exclamation points, the author's descriptions are clear and coherent. The picture captions are another story; two are switched, at least one contradicts a point made in the text, and another was apparently written for a different photo. Considering the recent proliferation of books on the planets, this one can be passed over. Buy another copy of Seymour Simon's Our Solar System (Morrow, 1992) instead |
