Review
Reviews of the first edition:; I highly recommend Planetary Landscapes for upper level students and as a reference to any other planetary course. - Journal of Geoscience Education; ...the definitive summary text for undergraduate students of surface processes... - Journal of the British Astronomical Society; The reproduction of the images...is among the best I have seen...The overall effect is stunning -Nature; Reviews of this edition: The second edition of this much admired text about planetary landscapes lives up to the high reputation of its predecessor...an excellent book and should be on the shelves of everyone with more than a passing interest in planetary science - Geological Magazine; I cannot recommend this book highly enough to all teachers of introductory courses - Geoscientist; ...much better than most that attempt short overviews into complicated fields...a very useful book for anyone interested in planetary science. - Technophysics
Synopsis
This introductory text concentrates on the surface features of the planets and satellites of our Solar System. The author first discusses the primary processes that shape our planet and then goes on to the geomorphology of the objects in the Solar System for which data are available from space missions like Voyager. The second edition includes new information about Venus and a new chapter on Neptune. The book is illustrated with high resolution black and white photos from recent space probes and orbiting spacecraft, with explanatory diagrams. Each chapter contains a description of the general physiography and terrain units and the geomorphic processes that created them. A synopsis of the geologic evolution of the surface is given. Selected references include original papers, review articles, and books. This book should be of interest to planetary geologists.
