Planetfall: New Solar System Visions: New Solar System Visions
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Thanks to the photographic output of a small squadron of interplanetary spacecraft, we have awakened to the beauty and splendor of the solar system. Since Michael Bensons masterful book Beyond: Visions of the Interplanetary Probes, new, more powerful cameras in probes with greatly improved maneuverability have traversed the wheeling satellites of Jupiter; roamed the boulderstrewn red deserts of Mars; studied Saturns immaculate rings; and shown us our own ravishing Earth, a bluewhite orb with a disturbingly thin atmosphere, as it plunges deeper into ecological crisis. These new images are the subject of Bensons Planetfall, a truly revelatory book that uses its large page size to reproduce the greatest achievements in contemporary planetary photography as never before.Praise for Planetfall:All retrospectives, art and otherwise, should shock us awake the way this one does . . . Planetfall is a book of science through and through, but it also deepens our sense of the miracle and the mystery of the universe, of our eyeblink lives.
