How to Help Your Child Land the Right Job Book

Although now 40-years old, Miller & Hartmann's book still holds a firm place in my affections. The clue is in the title; this is not so much a scientific guide to our little corner of the galaxy (even though there's plenty of fascinating data in there) so much as a guidebook to what it would be like to be on Titan, or in the clouds of Jupiter.
The language used is almost poetically-evocative at times. "Cold winds blow down lonely canyon floors on Mars; morning mists form in craters and valleys; clouds condense over high volcanic mountains... All these events are happening now... Mars is awaiting our next visit." Combined with a plethora of gorgeous pained illustrations, if you have yearning for the stars (or at least the nearby worlds of our solar system, then this is a book to stir the imagination, for all that some of the scientific facts have been superseded, and is worth searching out to take its place on your bookshelf.
