Featuring more than 200 intriguing images taken by space probes
travelling billions of kilometres from Earth, The Solar System is
an exhilarating exploration of the mysteries of our local planetary
space. Within the span of a human lifetime, our spacecraft have
visited all eight planets of the Solar System, together with
several dwarf planets, asteroids and comets. We have mapped the
surface of Mercury and Venus in exquisite detail, landed rovers on
Mars, placed orbiters around Jupiter and Saturn, and parachuted to
the surface of Titan. Our emissaries have visited icy worlds five
billion kilometres from home and continued onwards to reach
interstellar space. The pictures and science returned by these
intrepid travellers have transformed our understanding of the Solar
System in which we live.

Must 22 is a series of inspirational travel books which combine
accurate information on key locations in individual countries and
outstanding photography. The books are carefully packaged by
awarded designers and written by a team of experienced travel
writers. The Must 22 series is designed to inspire the armchair
traveller and to provide a reliable source of information for the
visitor.This edition reveals twenty-two places you just can't miss
when you come to Iceland. The island is sparsely populated and the
enormity of nature dominates it wherever you look - in contrast to
the warmth of the people who make themselves known at every
opportunity, parading the cultural heritage of the 1,200 years that
the island has been populated. Even once you've seen these 22
places, you're still far from uncovering all of Iceland's secrets.
But you will have come a little closer to understanding why this
enigmatic rock in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is one of the
most peculiar, yet more charming places in the world.
Shells are exoskeletons of living creatures and have fascinated
humans for millennia. Interesting Shells presents portraits of
beautiful specimens from the Natural History Museum's vast
collections, each accompanied by a caption explaining their unique
characteristics - whether biological, historical or geographical.
