The second edition of Solar System Astrophysics: Planetary Atmospheres and the Outer Solar System provides a timely update of our knowledge of planetary atmospheres and of the bodies of the outer solar system and their analogs in other planetary systems. This volume begins with an expanded treatment of the physics, chemistry, and meteorology of the atmospheres of the Earth, Venus, and Mars, moving on to their magnetospheres and then to a full discussion of the gas and ice giants and their properties. From here, attention switches to the small bodies of the solar system, beginning...

Women's fiction covers numerous topics of importance in the lives of women--friendship, love, personal growth, and familial relationships. For this reason, the genre is a hotbed of engaging subjects for book group discussions. "Reading Women: A Book Club Guide for Women's Fiction" brings together information on over 100 women's fiction titles, providing everything a book group needs to encourage focused, stimulating meetings.

"Reading Women" marshals information that has been, up to this point, either nonexistent or scattered in book club guides. Readers will learn the difference...

A guide book in the form of literature for parent and child. The reader is taught a little Italian, art, art history, history, science, and social studies through story telling. The reader can use this book as a precursor for a trip to Venice, Italy, and it can be used during one's visit as interactive material. The reader can also take a trip to Venice, and never leave the comfort of their own home. The Did You Know section provides the reader with facts and dates about historical characters; Around Town and Where to Find It: nine points of interest are listed,...

Short-period binaries run the gamut from widely separated stars to black-hole pairs; in between are systems that include neutron stars and white dwarfs, and partially evolved systems such as tidally distorted and over-contact systems. These objects represent stages of evolution of binary stars, and their degrees of separation provide critical clues to how their evolutionary paths differ from that of single stars. The widest and least distorted systems provide astronomers with the essential precise data needed to study all stars: mass and radius. The interactions of binary star components,...
