Access to planets! Pictures and text show and explain radically different geological processes in a way that makes other planetary bodies more familiar and our own more fantastic. This is exciting stuff. It's a lot like anthropological archaeology, where a mix of careful observation and creative detective work is needed. What's presented is both the what (discovered) and the how (it was discovered). Greeley is contagiously fascinated with his subject. Everything is explained with an attention to a type of detail necessary for scientists but often neglected for laymen ー such as an explanation of "things that go wrong with pictures sent from space." The mountains of Mars to the moons of Jupiter ー come alive.
[David Finacom, The Essential Whole Earth Catalog p.9]
