It demonstrates how the workings of planetary bodies can be understood in depth by reducing them to fundamental physics and chemistry. The book is based on two courses taught by the author for many years at the University of Georgia. It includes 'Guided Exercise' boxes; end-of-chapter problems (worked solutions provided online); and software boxes (Maple code provided online). As well as being an ideal textbook on planetary thermodynamics for advanced students in the Earth and planetary sciences, it also provides an innovative and quantitative complement to more traditional courses in geological thermodynamics, petrology, chemical oceanography and planetary science. In addition to its use as a textbook, it is also of great interest to researchers looking for a 'one stop' source of concepts and techniques that they can apply to their research problems. 517 3 $aThermodynamics of the Earth & Planets 606 $aLaws of thermodynamics$vTextbooks 606 $aPlanetary theory$vTextbooks 615 0$aLaws of thermodynamics 615 0$aPlanetary theory 676 $a551.5/22 686 $aSCI019000$2bisacsh 700 $aPatin?o Douce$b Alberto$01717062 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817975903321 996 $aThermodynamics of the Earth and planets$94112849 997 $aUNINA
