Review
'... a complete cartographic guide to all the planets and moons in the Solar System, and a fair few of the asteroids too. In each case, you are given a map, a potted geological history, basic information about the workings of these bodies, all woven together in an accessible, interesting style... the real power of this hefty volume lies in the pictures. These are images to die for, beautifully reproduced and guaranteed to amaze.' Gabrielle Walker, New Scientist
'The real fascination of the maps and images in this hefty NASA Atlas is the way they render our neighbouring balls of rock and gas into imaginable, tangible places ... With a wealth of technical information, but still accessible to the general reader, this beautiful book comes with a formidable price tag. But get to look at it if you can. Until virtual reality-linked space probes let us experience these far distant worlds as if we were there, it's the closest we're going to get. 9/10.' Focus
'The text is informative, but the maps and photographs are stunning ... an essential library purchase ... The appeal of this volume is more than academic, however. It has the beauty of all great atlases, and is a fine thing to own.' Andrew Collier Cameron, The Observatory
'... The Nasa Atlas is one of a kind.' Corey S. Powell, Scientific American
'Text is written in an easy-to-understand style, making this book a treasured resource for a general reader.' Space News
'... a very good reference book for every amateur and professional astronomer.' Reviews of Astronomical Tools
'... this reference work is a tremendous bargain ... Its pages are filled with mind-boggling images ...'. Ian Pollock, Independent Saturday Magazine
'For when you first encounter this book I offer the following advice. perform a full facial warm-up routine because for the next hour or two your jaw dropping will be the only interruption to the permanent WOW! expression on your face. The book is the literary equivalent of IMAX cinema ... this is not just an atlas but a thing of beauty that speaks to the explorer in all of us.' Astronomy and Space
'... planetary scientists Greeley and Batson have done an excellent job ...'. Vicki Hyde, New Zealand Science Monthly
