There's a Sale going on in Landmark bookstore. I bought few books from there at nice discount. Most of the books are full of pictures which are usually expensive. One of them is "The Atlas of Universe". It has pictures and information about all heavenly bodies like planets, asteroids, comets, nebulas etc. Their pictures are mind-boggling.
At the start, the book describes the planets in our Solar System. Each planet represents something. For example, Mercury is the Messenger of Greek Gods, Neptune is of Water. I haven't read the book "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus". But from this Atlas, I know how that book's name must have come. Venus represents the Greek Goddess of Love whereas Mars represents the Greek God of Wars. The funnier part is that Venus is the hottest planet of our solar system. :D It's not that I completely agree with the name of the book "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus", but it's the general perception or rather, the perception generalized.
