Fundamental Planetary Science: Physics, Chemistry and Habitability

這本引人入勝的新教科書解釋了管理行星運動和性質的物理，化學和地質過程的各種樣態。作者概述了我們當前的知識，並討論了今天行星科學和天體生物學研究前沿的一些未回答的問題。

他們結合了太陽系的知識和太陽系行星的屬性與天體物理觀測持續的星星和星球形成，提供了一個全面的模型，以了解行星系統的起源。本書最後介紹了生物體的基本屬性以及生命與其主體行星的關係。通過200多次練習，幫助學生學習如何應用所涵蓋的概念，本教材是本科生一學期或二學期課程的理想選擇。

A quantitative introduction to the Solar System and planetary systems science for advanced undergraduate students, this engaging new textbook explains the wide variety of physical, chemical, and geological processes that govern the motions and properties of planets. The authors provide an overview of our current knowledge and discuss some of the unanswered questions at the forefront of research in planetary science and astrobiology today. They combine knowledge of the Solar System and the properties of extrasolar planets with astrophysical observations of ongoing star and planet formation, offering a comprehensive model for understanding the origin of planetary systems. The book concludes with an introduction to the fundamental properties of living organisms and the relationship that life has to its host planet. With more than 200 exercises to help students learn how to apply the concepts covered, this textbook is ideal for a one-semester or two-quarter course for undergraduate students.
