12 февраля 1947 г. в западных отрогах Сихотэ-Алиня упал огромный метеорит. Раздробившись во время движения в атмосфере на многочисленные осколки, он рассеялся железным дождем.

Предположим, что Вы получили многотомное собрание сочинений неизвестного вам писателя. Вы имели возможность прочесть лишь последнюю страницу последнего тома, а перед вами ставится задача рассказать о содержании остальных станиц всех томов. Задача неразрешимая <...>

One excellent reason is that it’s tried and true. Physical Geology: Earth Revealed is a classic in introductory geology classes that has evolved into a market-leading text read by thousands of students. Proportionately, geology instructors have relied on this text for over 5,000 courses to explain,  illustrate, and exemplify basic geologic concepts to both majors and nonmajors. Today, the 9th edition continues to provide contemporary perspectives that reflect current research, recent natural disasters, unmatched illustrations, and unparalleled learning aids. We have worked closely with  contributors, reviewers, and our editors to publish the most accurate and current text possible.  <...>

A quantitative introduction to the Solar System and planetary systems science for advanced undergraduate students, this engaging new textbook explains the wide variety of physical, chemical and geological processes that govern the motions and properties of planets.

For many years, planetary science has been taught as part of the astronomy curriculum, from a very physics-based perspective, and from the framework of a tour of the Solar System – body by body. Over the past decades, however, spacecraft exploration and related laboratory research on extraterrestrial materials have given us a new understanding of planets and how they are shaped by geologic processes.

This textbook is intended to be used in a lecture course for college students majoring in the Earth Sciences. Planetary science provides an opportunity for these students to apply a wide range of subject matter pertaining to the Earth to the study of other planets of the solar system and their principal satellites.
