Comprehensive volume that summarizes our understanding of the jovian system.

This comprehensive volume authoritatively describes our understanding of the complex and fascinating jovian system. Written by a team of world experts, it brings together every aspect of the giant planetary system, from the deep interior of Jupiter to the distant tiny satellites and swarms of escaping gas and dust. Chapters present a synthesis of experimental data from the Voyager, Galileo and Cassini missions, from telescopes on the ground and in space, and from theoretical models on the different components that make up the Jupiter system. This book is a valuable introduction for graduate students and an indispensable resource for all researchers in planetary science.

Review quote:
'(?)0; an impressive detailed guide (?)0; the editors and authors have done an admirable job of summarizing our knowledge (?)0; The supporting compact disc and online material enhance the value of this volume. This package presents a comprehensive resource for students of planetary science and provides a detailed overview for active researchers.' EOS

'(?)0; for those with a technical background it is a comprehensive introduction to the study of the giant planet.' Astronomy Now
