5.0 out of 5 stars Upto date book on the moon written by an expert., 1 Sep 1998
By A Customer
An excellent introduction to the moon, the geology, the detective/sceintific work in finding the dates for events on the moon. The suprises turned up by appolo (like the uneven gravity field that put appollo 11 off course on landing and almost destroyed it). And the moons great potential for teaching us about the solar system and our own planet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource for Science Fiction Writers, 18 Sep 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Once and Future Moon (Smithsonian Library of the Solar System) (Hardcover)
The Once and Future Moon by Paul D. Spudis combines clear, straightforward writing with solid science to give us a comprehensive picture of the geological and human history of the moon, as well as well-reasoned speculation about what the Moon might hold for future human exploration and colonization. This book has become an essential reference for me in my writing of a science fiction novel about a Moon colony. The latest ideas about what human explorers and colonists can expect to accomplish in astronomy and lunar science and what lunar resources they can exploit for survival and profit are all clearly presented. The book also presents the best arguments I have heard for the continued human exploration of space, and why NASA's current bureaucracy isn't up to the job.

5.0 out of 5 stars An introduction to Lunar Science, 10 Mar 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Once and Future Moon (Smithsonian Library of the Solar System) (Hardcover)
This is the best introduction to the moon that I've encountered. Dr. Spudis clearly addresses the varies areas of lunar exploration--both past and future--and the findings of these visits. While addressing the issues of lunar geology (basin formation, cratering, volcanism, and regolith formation), he keeps the language non-technical and even enjoyable to read. While other introductions fail (in my mind) by being too brief, this volume 'does it all'. I have been very pleased with this book and highly recommend it as the only quality introductory text on the moon.
