This volume covers most areas in the physics of the solar system,
with special emphasis on gravitational dynamics; its gist is the
rational, in particular mathematical, understanding of the main
processes at work. Special stress is given to the variety of
objects in the planetary system and their long-term evolution. The
unique character of this book is its breadth and depth, which aims
at bringing the reader to the threshold of original research;
however, special chapters and introductory sections are included
for the benefit of the beginner.
Physics of the Solar System is based on the earlier work by B.
Bertotti and P. Farinella: Physics of the Earth and the Solar
System, which has been completely revised and updated, and more
focused on the solar system. It generally attains a higher level
than the previous version. This volume is generally suitable for
post-graduate students and researchers in physics, especially in
the field related to the solar system. A large amount of figures
and diagrams is included, often compiled with real data.
