      abstract = {This book provides an up-to-date interdisciplinary  geoscience-focused overview of solid solar system bodies  and their evolution, based on the comparative description  of processes acting on them. Planetary research today is a  strongly multidisciplinary endeavor with efforts coming  from engineering and natural sciences. Key focal areas of  study are the solid surfaces found in our Solar System.  Some have a direct interaction with the interplanetary  medium and others have dynamic atmospheres. In any of those  cases, the geological records of those surfaces (and  sub-surfaces) are key to understanding the Solar System as  a whole: its evolution and the planetary perspective of our  own planet. This book has a modular structure and is  divided into 4 sections comprising 15 chapters in total.  Each section builds upon the previous one but is also  self-standing. The sections are: Methods and tools  Processes and Sources Integration and Geological Syntheses  Frontiers The latter covers the far-reaching broad topics  of exobiology, early life, extreme environments and  planetary resources, all areas where major advancements are  expected in the forthcoming decades and both key to human  exploration of the Solar System. The target readership  includes advanced undergraduate students in  geoscience-related topics with no specific planetary  science knowledge; undergraduates in other natural science  domains (e.g. physics, astronomy, biology or chemistry);  graduates in engineering and space systems design who want  to complement their knowledge in planetary science. The  authors backgrounds span a broad range of topics and  disciplines: rooted in Earth geoscience, their expertise  covers remote sensing and cartography, field mapping,  impact cratering, volcanology and tectonics, sedimentology  and stratigraphy exobiology and life in extreme  environments, planetary resources and mining. Several  generations of planetary scientists are cooperating to  provide a modern view on a discipline developed from Earth  during and through Space exploration.},
