Extensively revised and updated, this new edition of David A. Rothery's acclaimed geological guide to the outer solar system includes results and close-up color and black and white images from the 1995-1999 Galileo mission to Jupiter and from the Voyager space probe. Rothery, a noted planetary scientist, explains the geological aspects of the major satellites of the outer bodies, from Jupiter and Neptune to the Pluto-Charon system. Rothery discusses their similarities and differences, and reveals how they resemble Earth-like planets. This fascinating book is written in an introductory style ideal for first or second year degree courses. Amateur geologists and astronomers will also find its insights rewarding.

Reviews of the First Edition: 'The depth and authority of the treatment of physical geological processes makes this a good introduction to the outer satellites for undergraduate students, while the clarity of the text ensures that things do not become too complicated for less expert readers.' Lionel Wilson, Times Higher Education Supplement

'Rothery brings these satellites to life.' David Hughes, New Scientist
