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
From Library Journal
Greeley, a prominent planetary geologist, has assembled an impressive collection of black-and-white images of planetary and satellite surfaces, accompanied by a lucid explanatory text on the various geomorphic processes responsible for shaping these surfaces. Intended mainly for Earth scientists, planetary scientists, and astromomers, the book will also appeal to others seeking a better understanding of the results of space missions to the Moon and the planets. The lack of any color imagery detracts somewhat from the book's appeal. Reminiscent in some ways of W.K. Hartmann's planetary geology textbook Moon and Planets (Wadsworth, 1983), Greeley's book focuses more narrowly on planetary surfaces. Thomas E. Margrave, formerly with Physics & Astronomy Dept., Univ. of Montana, Missoula
