This book explains how it came to be that Venus and Earth, while
very similar in chemical composition, zonation, size and
heliocentric distance from the Sun, are very different in surface
environmental conditions. It is argued here that these differences
can be accounted for by planetoid capture processes and the
subsequent evolution of the planet-satellite system. Venus captured
a one-half moon-mass planetoid early in its history in the
retrograde direction and underwent its "fatal attraction scenario"
with its satellite (Adonis). Earth, on the other hand, captured a
moon-mass planetoid (Luna) early in its history in prograde orbit
and underwent a benign estrangement scenario with its captured
satellite.
