Produktbeschreibung

Throughout this century, Soviet scientists had strongly influenced Western research on the origin of the solar system. Now this volume offers a comprehensive overview of Soviet research in planetary cosmogony from the last eight decades. It opens with a selection of the seminal papers of Otto Schmidt, some of which were never published in English. The book also includes a compendium of articles illuminating such topics as the protoplanetary cloud, the formation of the Earth and other terrestrial planets, the origin of the moon, as well as asteriods, comets, and meteorites.
