Venus Revealed: A New Look Below the Clouds of Our Mysterious Twin PlanetUntil very recently, all we really knew about Venus, our nearest planetary neighbor, was that it was roughly the same size and mass as the earth and was surrounded by a thick atmosphere.

Until very recently, all we really knew about Venus, our nearest planetary neighbor, was that it was roughly the same size and mass as the earth and was surrounded by a thick atmosphere. Then, in 1989, American scientists launched Magellan--the spacecraft that would revolutionize our vision of this mysterious planet. Venus Revealed is 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 Venus Revealed, David Grinspoon eloquently argues that studying our exotic twin will inevitable teach us more about ourselves.Binding Type: Paperback

Great size for tiny dogs!
Color: Skull With Spiders, Color: Skull With Spiders
We got this for our grand-dog, a tiny Havanese! It's a great size for her. It was challenging to find things she could carry around with her tiny mouth when she was a puppy and we liked the added bonus of her pulling them out of the skull. Another activity in her day.... It was the perfect seasonal item to add to the toy box. It's her favorite thing to carry around. The squeakers are still going strong. It got a little crusty after she played with them for a while, but they washed great! Still holding up! Would recommend.

My little dog's favorite toy
Color: Skull With Spiders
These spiders are small and not for big dogs. But my little one loves them so much and it is hard to find good durable toys small enough for her. I love these spiders so much I wish I could buy just the spiders. the ones they sell alone are too big for her. If some one from the company could help a sister out on how to buy the spiders without the skull I would be for ever grateful.

Small, below-average hide and seek-toy
Color: Skull With Spiders
This toy is not as large nor as well-made as the 6 other hide and seek-toys our dog has. The small size of the skull makes the dog disinterested in it. For the size, the price should be half what it is.
