Editorial Reviews
Choice, January 1999
"...The most welcome change, however, is the addition of an average of about 40 exercises at the end of almost every chapter. The exercises have the mark of an insightful researcher and experienced teacher, and should stimulate students and even researchers to think more deeply about the material. The review of the original edition (CH, Nov '95) said that it "should become an instant classic," and that it is "strongly recommended for libraries supporting science students at the upper-division undergraduate level through faculty"; these comments are even more true of this new edition."
Review
Praise for the First Edition:
"...It will certainly be an asset to me and my students, and I am sure that every serious university library will be required to obtain a copy."
--METEORITES AND PLANETARY SCIENCE
"...the best study of the subject I have ever read...complete, well written, with a style that is both lively and elegant."
- PHYSICS WORLD
"...a very comprehensive summary of the results of research in this field. There are many diagrams and photographs used for illustration that make it easy to understand."
--REVIEWS OF ASTRONOMICAL TOOLS
"...an incredible compendium of knowledge of the planetary sciences serving the needs of both students and practicing scientists..."
