Review
"The Onc and Future Moon is a thorough and exciting book, recommended for today's armchair astronomers and tomorrow's lunar explorers." Ben Bova, Courant
Product Description
Multi-ring basins are large impact craters formed in the early history of planets. They critically affect the evolution of the planets and their satellites. The Moon offers an exceptional chance to study these phenomena and this book provides a comprehensive geological study using data from lunar landings and remote sensing of the Moon. The author covers the formation and development of basins and considers their chemistry and mineralogy. He studies their effects on the volcanic, tectonic and geological evolution of the planet, including the catastrophic consequence on the planetary climate and evolution of life. This study is lavishly illustrated with many spectacular, highly-detailed photographs and diagrams.

A intriguing look at the formation and geology of the moon.
29 Sep 1999
Format:Hardcover
As a lay person, I thoroughly enjoyed this volume which offers a nice balance between readable narrative and in-depth geology information. I've always enjoyed reading Dr. Spudis's papers and volumes, and this is one of my personal favorites sitting on my space science and technology shelf.
