This book chronicles the history of climate science and planetary
exploration, focusing on our ever-expanding knowledge of Earth's
climate, and the parallel research underway on some of our nearest
neighbours: Mars, Venus and Titan. From early telescopic
observation of clouds and ice caps on planetary bodies in the
seventeenth century, to the dawn of the space age and the first
robotic planetary explorers, the book presents a comprehensive
chronological overview of planetary climate research, right up to
the dramatic recent developments in detecting and characterising
exoplanets. Meanwhile, the book also documents the discoveries
about our own climate on Earth, not only about how it works today,
but also how profoundly different it has been in the past. Highly
topical and written in an accessible and engaging narrative style,
this book provides invaluable historical context for students,
researchers, professional scientists, and those with a general
interest in planetary climate research.
