Then, in 1989, American scientists launched Magellan--the spacecraft that would revolutionize our vision of this mysterious planet. \u003ci\u003eVenus Revealed \u003c\/i\u003eis the first book to explain the breathtaking results of this mission, which unveiled a Venusian world of active volcanoes, shining mountains, and river valleys carved by torrents of flowing lava. At one time, Venus may have even had a wet, temperate climate, much like Earth's. What happened to turn it into a hostile, burning acid world? The answer could very well help us solve some of our most pressing environmental problems--from global warming to acid rain. In \u003ci\u003eVenus Revealed, \u003c\/i\u003e David Grinspoon eloquently argues that studying our exotic twin will inevitable teach us more about ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Harry Grinspoon\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of astrophysical and planetary sciences at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
