  • Solar System Astrophysicsby Eugene F. Milone; William Wilson

    Springer 2008; US$ 94.99

    Covers the field of solar system astrophysics beginning with basic tools of spherical astronomy and coordinate frames and celestial mechanics. This title features the atmospheres chapter that includes discussions of circulation, applicable also to the subsequent discussion of the gas giants. more...

  • Planetary Ring Systemsby Ellis D. Miner; Randii R. Wessen; Jeffrey N. Cuzzi

    Springer 2007; US$ 41.99

    A comprehensive book on the topic of planetary rings systems. It covers the scientific significance of ring studies, the history of their discovery and characterization, the observations of Pioneer 10 at Jupiter, Pioneer 11 and Voyager 1 at Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 2 at all four giant planets of the solar system, and Galileo at Jupiter. more...

  • Geology and Habitability of Terrestrial Planetsby Kathryn E. Fishbaugh; Philippe Lognonné; François Raulin

    Springer 2007; US$ 159.99

    Discusses the multi-faceted problem of how the habitability of a planet co-evolves with the geology of the surface and interior, the atmosphere, and the magnetosphere. This book delves into what life needs to exist and ultimately to thrive, the early environments of the young terrestrial planets, and the role of volatiles in habitability. more...

  • Planetary Crustsby S. Ross Taylor; Scott McLennan

    Cambridge University Press 2008; US$ 48.00

    This reference volume provides an up-to-date survey of the development of crusts on solid planets and satellites in the Solar System. more...

  • Cathodoluminescence and its Application in the Planetary Sciencesby Arnold Gucsik

    Springer 2008; US$ 109.99

    Cathodoluminescence microscopy/spectroscopy is a powerful technique providing detailed information on the shock metamorphism of target rocks, biosignatures of meteorites and mineralogy of the pre-solar grains. Moreover, it can be used as an in-situ method to classify the solid-atmospheric-liquid interactions on the surface of Mars. more...

  • International geophysics seriesby John Marshall; R. Alan Plumb

    Elsevier Science 1978; US$ 79.95

  • Theory of Planetary Atmospheresby Thomas P Chamberlain; Donald M. Hunten

    Elsevier Science 1990; US$ 89.95

    Our subject is, of course, nothing more than applied physics and chemistry. But in addition to those basic sciences the student of planetary atmospheres needs an overview of atmospheric structure and physical processes as presently understood. This book is intended to help fill that need for both graduate students and research scientists. Although... more...

  • A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloudby Brian Harold May

    Springer 2008; US$ 69.99

    The Zodiacal Light, that misty diffuse cone of light seen in the West after Sunset and the East before Sunrise, is a beautiful and intriguing phenomenon. Even though everyone can enjoy the sight from a suitably dark location, it is poorly understood, and has been the subject of relatively little research. Brian May began his research into the subject... more...
