Title : Terraforming : the creating of habitable worlds Material Type: books Authors: Martin Beech Publisher: Springer Publication Date: 2009 Series: Astronomers' universe Pagination: xi, 291 p. Layout: col. ill. Size: 25 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-387-09795-4 General note: Includes bibliographical references and index. Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Life on other planets ; Mars (Planet) ; Planets--Environmental engineering ; Solar system--Exploration ; Space colonies ; Venus (Planet) Class number: TL795.7 Abstract: This book proposes a sound and realistic exploration on the topic of terraforming. Often used as the narrative premise in science fiction novels, terraforming is the process by which an uninhabitable planet might be converted into one capable of supporting life. This book presents what is physically possible today and hints what might conceivably be put into practice in the next several hundred years. The author works within the realms of current technology and known physics, although speculation on future advancements inevitably enters the discussion. Introductory chapters establish why terraforming will be of great benefit to human kind, and also put in place the basic physical arguments necessary to the terraforming process. The following parts look at various proposals that have been made for terraforming the planets Mars and Venus. The book concludes with a glimpse to the much deeper future when humankind will explore and colonize the outer solar system and possibly the newly discovered exoplanets.

Title : The planet Venus Material Type: books Authors: Mikhail Ya. Marov ; David H. Grinspoon Publisher: Yale University Press Publication Date: 1998 Size: 31 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-300-04975-6 General note: Includes bibliographical references and index Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Venus (Planet) Abstract: Shrouded by the thick clouds of a hot, dense atmosphere, the planet Venus -Earth's close neighbor in space- remained mysterious until recent decades. Today, with a new data from sophisticated contemporary observatories and from Russian and American spacecraft, Venus has moved into sharper focus. This comprehensive book provides the most up-to-date and detailed analysis available of the nature of Venus. The authors, distinguished experts in planetary science from Russia and the United States, examine all the principal aspects of Venus, with particular attention paid to the planet's formation, the development of a runaway greenhouse effect, and Venus' evolution into a planet completely different from the others in our solar system.
Integrating data from Galileo, Magellan, Pioneer-Venus, Venera, and other space missions, this book summarizes the history of research on Venus, covers the atmosphere, geomorphology, and tectonic history of the planet, and considers its geology. The authors offer various theories to explain evolutionary processes in the solar system and to unveil such mysteries as Venus' slow retrograde rotation, its lack of magnetic field, and its bizarre atmospheric dynamics. Unique illustrations include high-quality images of Venus' surface, some obtained by Soviet spacecraft and never before printed in English-language publications.Record link: http://isulibrary.isunet.edu/opac/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=3358 The planet Venus [books] / Mikhail Ya.
