MOORE, PATRICK AND CATTERMOLE, PETER.

The Craters of the Moon. An Observational Approach.

London: Lutterworth Press, 1967. 1st edition. "The origin of the craters and other surface features of the Moon has been one of the major controversies between astronomers for many years..Many theories have been put forward but only two are now regarded seriously; either that the craters were formed by volcanic action or by meteorite impact..The approach of this book is essentially practical. It is unlike any previous work on the subject since the authors apply known geological principles to established observational data and yet state their case in a clearly expressed and extremely readable manner." Pp.160, 16 black & white plates + 45 figure illustrations. Red cloth, speckled bleached spots to lower edges of boards. Dustwrapper has tears to top and lower edges front and rear, but is now in a removable clear protective wrap. Scarce. VG/Good.
