Editorial Review | From the reviews: "The authors meld concepts of geology and chemistry with astronomy to address planetary atmospheres at all levels and meteorology. ... The book explores atmospheric structure, ionization, and particle environments and includes very complete descriptions of satellites and ring structure, comets, meteors, meteorites, and asteroids. ... This ... is extremely thorough, up-to-date, and one of the best places to go for a handy reference on solar system topics. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (W. E. Howard III, Choice, Vol. 46 (8), April, 2009) |
