Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and the Outer Solar System
ISBN: 9780816077014 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Unlike all the planets closer to the Sun, known since antiquity, the farthest reaches are the discoveries of the modern world. Uranus was discovered in 1781, Neptune in 1846, Pluto in 1930, the Kuiper belt group of objects in 1992, and though the Oort cloud has been theorized since 1950, its first member was found in 2004. The discovery of the outer planets made such an impression on the minds of mankind that they were immortalized in the names of the newly discovered elements: uranium, neptunium, and plutonium, an astonishingly deadly constituent of atomic bombs. Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and...

Jupiter and Saturn : Revised Edition
ISBN: 9780816076987 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Jupiter and Saturn are the two largest planets in the solar system and the first two gas giant planets encountered when moving away from the Sun. They are both immensely complicated systems not unlike miniature solar systems on their own: Jupiter has 63 known moons and its own ring system, whereas Saturn is famous for its rings and 62 known moons. Astronomers are finding with some regularity new, distant moons orbiting each of these planets, so their number of known satellites continues to grow. Jupiter and Saturn, Revised Edition presents comprehensive and up-to-date information on these two...

Mars, Revised Edition
ISBN: 9780816076994 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Mars exploration has never been more active, and our understanding of the planet is advancing rapidly. New discoveries reveal gullies carved by recent groundwater flow, thick ice deposits protected by rocks and soil even at the equator, and new evidence for lakes and seas in Mars' past. The Martian surface has some of the oldest planetary crust in the solar system, containing clues to conditions in early planets that cannot be obtained elsewhere. Beginning with a discussion of Mars as a planet in orbit, Mars, Revised Edition covers fundamental facts about this planet, including its mass and...

The Sun, Mercury and Venus
ISBN: 9780816051939 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Sun, Mercury, and Venus explores the innermost solar system and the importance of the Sun's energy on orbiting bodies. As the closest planet to the Sun, Mercury is the least visited of terrestrial planets and is difficult to see because it is always close to the Sun from the Earth's perspective. This volume also covers the geological characteristics of Venus in relation to the Sun and the rest of the solar system.

The Earth and the Moon : Revised Edition
ISBN: 9780816076970 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The moon is the only body in the solar system outside of the Earth that has been visited by humans. More than 440 pounds of lunar material are brought by NASA and Soviet space missions to Earth for study. The information gleaned about the moon from this relatively small pile of rocks is mind-boggling and stands as the greatest proof that Martian planetary science would be greatly enhanced by returning samples to Earth. Compositional studies of lunar rocks show that the moon and the Earth are made of similar material, and because lunar material has not been reworked through erosion and plate...

The Solar System Set : 6 Volumes
ISBN: 9780816083473 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The solar system is not a static place. It continues to evolve-as does our ability to observe it-as technology continues to improve. Now in full color, The Solar System set explores the relationship between the Sun-the center of the solar system-and its orbiters, including Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, as well as asteroids, meteorites, and comets. Space missions that helped the scientific community gain a more thorough understanding of solar system bodies are introduced in each fully revised and updated volume, along with images and discussions...

Planetesimals: Early Differentiation and Consequences for Planets
ISBN: 9781107118485 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Processes governing the evolution of planetesimals are critical to understanding how rocky planets are formed, how water is delivered to them, the origin of planetary atmospheres, how cores and magnetic dynamos develop, and ultimately, which planets have the potential to be habitable. Theoretical advances and new data from asteroid and meteorite observations, coupled with spacecraft missions such as Rosetta and Dawn, have led to major advances in this field over the last decade. This transdisciplinary volume presents an authoritative overview of the latest in our understanding of the...

Volcanism and Global Environmental Change
ISBN: 9781107058378 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Covering a key connection between geological processes and life on Earth, this multidisciplinary volume describes the effects of volcanism on the environment by combining present-day observations of volcanism and environmental changes with information from past eruptions preserved in the geologic record. The book discusses the origins, features and timing of volumetrically large volcanic eruptions; methods for assessing gas and tephra release in the modern day and the palaeo-record; and the impacts of volcanic gases and aerosols on the environment, from ozone depletion to mass extinctions....

Earth
ISBN: 9781501317910 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. In Earth, a planetary scientist and a literary humanist explore what happens when we think of the Earth as an object viewable from space. As a blue marble, a blue pale dot, or, as Chaucer described it, this litel spot of erthe, the solitary orb is a challenge to scale and to human self-importance. Beautiful and self-contained, the Earth turns out to be far less knowable than it at first appears: its vast interior an inferno of incandescent and yet solid rock and a...
