1.1 Undergraduate geology textbooks.
There are dozens of college freshman textbooks
that introduce geology. Most are similarly organized
and cover the same basic material. Any college or
university which teaches geology or earth science
will carry one or more of these in their bookstore.
1.2 Planetary science textbooks.
These publications cover general planetary science
and typically include chapters on each planet
and planetary system. Most of these books assume
a fundamental background in the sciences.
