The ground-breaking DK Eyewitness series been given a makeover for the 21st century, with new photos, updated information and revealing new ‘Eyewitness features’ - first-hand accounts from experts in the field.
Nowhere are the revisions more striking than in this updated edition of Planets, which features stunning computer-generated images and the most up-to-date images from NASA and ESA, taken by probes. Many of the images are staggeringly beautiful, and readers of all ages will find themselves caught up in this exploration of space, gripped by the story that it tells.
As ever in the series, as much care has been given to text and captions as to the choice of images, and this is non-fiction at its best, accessible, eye-opening, full of information and likely to prompt an ongoing interest in the subject.
