For many years, planetary science has been taught as part of the
astronomy curriculum, from a very physics-based perspective, and from
the framework of a tour of the Solar System - body by body. Over the
past decades, however, spacecraft exploration and related laboratory
research on extraterrestrial materials have given us a new understanding
of planets and how they are shaped by geological processes. Based on a
course taught at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, this is the
first textbook to focus on geologic processes, adopting a comparative
approach that demonstrates the similarities and differences between
planets, and the reasons for these. Profusely illustrated, and with a
wealth of pedagogical features, this book provides an ideal capstone
course for geoscience majors - bringing together aspects of mineralogy,
petrology, geochemistry, volcanology, sedimentology, geomorphology,
tectonics, geophysics and remote sensing.
