Solar heating and energy transport; 4. Magnetic fields and plasmas; 8. Planets and life; Index. Review Text 'Drawing most of its material from the authors' excellent graduate text, Lissauer and de Pater's Fundamental Planetary Science is smartly reorganized to focus on the essentials. The authors take great care to make the text both comprehensive and accessible to undergraduates with interesting new chapters on physics and life, more detailed derivations, additional figures, and a concluding list of key concepts for every chapter.

Sure to be welcomed by the Solar System community and destined to become a classic, the book is my new top choice for serious students of planetary science.
