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.
