Reviews
'... should prove interesting to a layperson as well as a student or professional scientist ... I also liked the thought-provoking questions at the end of each chapter.' Tom G. Farr, Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union
'This is an excellent, enjoyable read for those who come to planetary science without a geological background and who want to pick up a good basic grounding to complement further studies, and also for geologists who want to learn about the application of their subject in a planetary context.' The Observatory
