Synopsis

The trunks are packed, your passport's in order. But instead of sailing to Le Havre for a Cook's tour of the Continent, you're embarking on a voyage through the solar system. That is the wonder of the Grand Tour.

Originally published in 1981 and now completely updated by the scientific findings of the past decade, the revised edition of The Grand Tour included 10 new chapters, 52 new and/or revised paintings, 24 new photographs, and new drawings and maps. Through its unique marriage of art and fact, the book transports readers to unimaginable places - worlds of pure ice and utter night, of volcanic tumult and swirling acid clouds, of deep cut canyons and startlingly beautiful vistas. From the vast reaches of Jupiter to tiny frozen Rhea, orbiting like a snowball around Saturn, it takes us on a journey of astonishing proportions.
