by Michael Carroll and Rosaly Lopes "Michael Carroll and Rosaly Lopes have pooled their extensive knowledge and unlimited imagination to bring the volcanic vistas of other worlds to life in these pages, in all the colors of fire and ice. Based on the understanding gained from studying the likes of Vesuvius and Krakatau, Alien Volcanoes explores the eruptive forces at work throughout the solar system, from the massive Olympus Mons on Mars and the volcano-covered surface of Venus to the volcanic moons of Jupiter and Saturn." – review by Dava Sobel, author of Longitude.

"Space Art is not only a useful book, but a beautiful one, well printed and rich with color. A reader is likely to learn a bit of astronomy and geology along the way, and Carroll's impish sense of humor comes through in the text, maintaining the friendly tone of a teacher who loves his work. Again, I wish some time traveler had brought this book to me forty years ago. Highly recommended for beginning -- and developing -- artists, in any genre." –review by Don Dixon.
