PRODUCT SUMMARY
For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- Venus, the Sun's second planet, is a dark, broiling oven. It is a high-pressure, volcanic world with temperatures soaring above 500 degrees Celsius and air choked with carbon dioxide. How can the planets Earth and Venus, so similar in size and composition, be so different? The Enigma of Venus explores this unique planet's features, including its abundant volcanoes, which have been mysteriously inactive for hundreds of millions of years. Planetary scientists theorize on the current state of Venus, and speculate about what it can teach us regarding global warming on our own planet. Part of the multivolume Cosmic Odyssey Video Series. Includes a Teacher's Guide.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"...exceptional...Well narrated...concepts and theories are explained with dazzling graphics, simulations, animations and occasional NASA supplied real visual data...The lure of cosmic mysteries in this excellent series is compelling and thought-provoking. This series will be very useful for high school astronomy and physics courses..."- School Library Journal (Sept 2003)
"This series would be a great addition to the astronomy classroom. The videos will pique the interest of students and encourage new approaches to the subject. They are a great introduction and should provide new ideas to explore. Highly recommended."- Library Media Connection (Jan 2004)
