Io After Galileo: A New View of Jupiter's Volcanic MoonSpringer Science & Business Media, 2007 M06 20 - 374 pages This is the only book solely about Jupiter's moon Io, the most volcanically active body in the solar system. Written by experts in the field, many of whom took part in the Galileo mission, the book reviews the basics about Io and its unique space environment. Coverage includes all subjects, where the Galilio mission has shed new light on, with some emphasis on Io's most remarkable characteristics: its active volcanism. |
