Eales S. Planets and Planetary Systems

Praxis Publishing, 2007, 245 pages The common perception of Celestial Mechanics is that of a discipline which needs advanced mathematics and astronomy to be understood. Yet modern Celestial Mechanics has a rather different taste and a truly interdisciplinary nature. The number of celestial objects known to mankind has dramatically increased, the long-awaited presence of extrasolar planets has been eventually detected around other stars, spacefl...

2011. - 304 p. The DK encyclopedia of space contains detailed information on every aspect of astronomy, space, and the universe. Entries are grouped into sections, so that all the information about planets, stars, galaxies, or spacecraft can be found together. Within each section are main entries. Each entry opens with an introduction to the subject, then goes into more detail in separate, easy-to-manage topics that use photos and artwork to ill...

Cambridge University Press, 2009, Pages: 332 Recent discoveries of planets around other stars and protoplanetary disks around young stars have led to a new understanding of how stars and planets form. This book provides a thorough, up-to-date, and concise overview of the physical processes involved in the formation of stars and the disks around them which ultimately form planets.Throughout the book, state-of-the-art theoretical models are inte...

Cambridge University Press, 2000, 243 Pages This authoritative volume presents a thoroughly modern understanding of planetary nebulae, integrating new developments in stellar physics with the dynamics of nebular evolution. It covers all the stages in the evolution of planetary nebulae, carefully synthesizes observations from across the spectrum and clearly explains all the key physical processes at work. Particular emphasis is placed on recent o...

Second edition, Academic Press, Elsevier, Inc., Amsterdam, London, New York, 2004, 671 pp. - ISBN 0-12-446744-X At its original conception, this book was based on the structure, scope, and philosophy of a sophomore/ junior level course taught at M.I.T. by the author and Prof. Irwin I. Shapiro from 1969 to 1982. Although the content of that course varied greatly over the years in response to the vast new knowledge of the Solar System provided by m...

Springer, 2011 - 282 p. Grappling with Gravity explores the physiological changes that will occur in humans and the plants and animals that accompany humans as we move to new worlds, be it to colony in the emptiness of space or settlements on the Moon, Mars, or other moons or planets. This book focuses on the biomedical aspects, while not ignoring other life-changing influences of space living. For example, what happens to people physiologically...
