Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The book is divided into 4 main sections, one for each satellite with an intro and details of how to read the various maps.
Each map section takes a similar format, presenting the satellite in orthographic projections then delving deeper into selected regions. A wide field immage is presented then on the subsequent pages small versions of this map are presented with outlines of the magnified areas.
Technical aspects of the book are excellent and deserve 5 stars. The missing star in the rating is for the totally useless binding. Upon receiving the book I opened it and by the time I reached the centre of the book all the sections were falling out. Result, a hard cover and loose leaf pages. Singularly unimpressed !
Amazon was gracious enough to make enough restitution to allow me to take the book to a local binder and have it done properly.
Binding is not recommended for any use of the book in heavy conditions such as a library etc without further attention

Complete color global maps and high-resolution mosaics of Jupiter's four large moons - Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto - are compiled for the first time in this important atlas. The satellites are revealed as four visually striking and geologically diverse planetary bodies: Io's volcanic lavas and plumes and towering mountains; Europa's fissured ice surface; the craters, fractures and polar caps of Ganymede; and the giant impact basins, desiccated plains and icy pinnacles of Callisto. Featuring images taken from the recent Galileo mission, this atlas is a comprehensive mapping reference guide for researchers. It contains 65 global and regional maps, nearly 250 high-resolution mosaics, and images taken at resolutions from 500 meters to as high as 6 meters.
