Content: Focuses "on the airless, rocky bodies in the inner solar system as a host unto themselves, with a unique set of processes that require a specific set of investigative techniques. The book allows readers to understand both the basic and advanced concepts necessary to understand and employ that information. Topics covered past exploration of these surfaces, changes with time, space weathering, impact cratering, creation and evolution of regolith and soils, comparison of sample and remote sensing data, dust characterization, surface composition and thoughts for future exploration."--

Series Statement: Reviews in Mineralogy & Geochemistry , 68

Content: Volume 68 of Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry reviews Oxygen in the Solar System, an element that is so critically important in so many ways to planetary science. The book is based on three open workshops:Oxygen in the Terrestrial Planets, held in Santa Fe, NM July 20-23, 2004;Oxygen in Asteroids and Meteorites, held in Flagstaff, AZ June 2-3, 2005;and Oxygen in Earliest Solar System Materials and Processes (and including the outer planets and comets), held in Gatlinburg, TN September 19-22, 2005. As a consequence of the cross-cutting approach, the final book spans a wide range of fields relating to oxygen, from the stellar nucleosynthesis of oxygen, to its occurrence in the interstellar medium, to the oxidation and isotopic record preserved in 4.56 Ga grains formed at the Solar System's birth, to its abundance and speciation in planets large and small, to its role in the petrologic and physical evolution of the terrestrial planets. Contents:IntroductionOxygen isotopes in the early Solar System - A historical perspectiveAbundance, notation, and fractionation of light stable isotopesNucleosynthesis and chemical evolution of oxygenOxygen in the interstellar mediumOxygen in the SunRedox conditions in the solar nebula: observational, experimental, and theoretical constraintsOxygen isotopes of chondritic componentsMass-independent oxygen isotope variation in the solar nebulaOxygen and other volatiles in the giant planets and their satellitesOxygen in comets and interplanetary dust particlesOxygen and asteroidsOxygen isotopes in asteroidal materialsOxygen isotopic composition and chemical correlations in meteorites and the terrestrial planetsRecord of low-temperature alteration in asteroidsThe oxygen cycle of the terrestrial planets: insights into the processing and history of oxygen in surface environmentsRedox conditions on small bodies, the Moon and MarsTerrestrial oxygen isotope variations and their implications for planetary lithospheresBasalts as probes of planetary interior redox stateRheological consequences of redox state

Series Statement: Greenwood Guides to the Universe

Content: An expert in planetary sciences offers an accessible synopsis of scientific knowledge about the celestial bodies with which we are most familiar-Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. This volume in the Greenwood Guides to the Universe series covers the inner planets-Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Thematic chapters discuss all of the many areas of astronomical research surrounding each subject, providing readers with the most up-to-date understanding of current knowledge and the ways in which it has been obtained. Like all of the books in this series, Inner Planets is scientifically sound, but written with the student in mind. It is an excellent first step for researching the exciting scientific discoveries of the Earth and its closest neighbors

Series Statement: Greenwood Guides to the Universe

Content: Geared toward students, this guide provides an overview of the small bodies that orbit the sun. This volume in the Greenwood Guides to the Universe series covers asteroids, comets, and dwarf planets-those small bodies that revolve the Sun-and provides readers with the most up-to-date understanding of the current state of scientific knowledge about them. Scientifically sound, but written with the student in mind, Asteroids, Comets, and Dwarf Planets is an excellent first step for researching the exciting scientific discoveries of the smallest celestial bodies in the solar system. The book will introduce students to all of the areas of research surrounding the subject, answering many intriguing questions. It defines a dwarf planet and explains why Pluto is one. It looks at how such small bodies form, what they are made of, and what kind of atmospheres might they have. And it asks-and answers-whether asteroids, comets, and dwarf planets present a hazard to the Earth or to spacecraft
