An authoritative introduction for graduate students in the physical
sciences, this award-winning textbook explains the wide variety of
physical, chemical, and geological processes that govern the motions
and properties of planets. This updated second edition has been
revised and improved while maintaining its existing structure and
organization. Many data tables and plots have been updated to account
for the latest measurements. A new Appendix focuses on recent
discoveries since the second edition was first published. These
include results from Cassini, Kepler, MESSENGER, MRO, LRO, Dawn at
Vesta, Curiosity, and others, as well as many ground-based
observatories. With over 300 exercises to help students apply the
concepts covered, this textbook is ideal for graduate courses in
astronomy, planetary science and earth science, and well suited as a
reference for researchers. Color versions of many figures, movie clips
supplementing the text, and other resources are available at
