Written by a well-known author, scientist, and painter, Moon and Planets remains a unique classic in the field through its organization by physical subjects, such as planetary surfaces, planetary interiors, atmosphere, etc. Only this approach allows true comparative planetology (i.e., presentation of general physical principles, such as volcanism, tectonic evolution, mantle convection, cratering processes, and atmosphere temperature structure, followed by applications to various individual planets, satellites, and interplanetary bodies).
