"A Man Called Daddy" is an entertaining look at fatherhood, written
with the same charm and down-to-earth spirit as books by Erma
Bombeck.
This volume takes an interdisciplinary approach to the evolution of
terrestrial planets, addressing the topic from the perspectives of
planetary sciences, geochemistry, geophysics and biology, and solar
and astrophysics. The review papers analyze the chemical, isotopic
and elemental evolution of the early Solar System, with specific
emphasis on Venus, Earth, and Mars. They discuss how these factors
contribute to our understanding of accretion timescales, volatile
delivery, the origin of the Moon and the evolution of atmospheres
and water inventories of terrestrial planets. Also explored are
plate tectonic formation, the origin of nitrogen atmospheres and
the prospects for exoplanet habitability.The papers are
forward-looking as well, considering the importance of future space
missions for understanding terrestrial planet evolution in the
Solar System and beyond. Overall, this volume shall be useful for
academic and professional audiences across a range of scientific
disciplines. Previously published in Space Science Reviews in the
Topical Collection "Reading Terrestrial Planet Evolution in
Isotopes and Element Measurements"
