Strange World of the Moon. An Enquiry into Lunar Physics.

London: Hutchinson, 1959. 1st edition. "Explores, in terms accessible to the non-scientific reader, the almost virgin field of the properties of lunar rocks and the associated questions of the atmosphere and origin of the moon..Snow and ice may yet exist on the actual surface of the moon under conditions imposed by a strange regime of weather vulcanism and a low-lying temporary atmosphere. Some forms of life are conceivable there. The structure of its surface appears to show that the moon is a captured planet which has approached to and receded from the earth more than once." Pp.x/226, frontis[piece + 12 further black & white plates + map showing positions of the larger features on the moon mentioned in this book, a few light spots mainly affecting closed page edges. Black boards with blue and white titles is clean. Dustwrapper has losses affecting half of the title to front as well as large portion of upper rear + smaller losses to lower edges and wear to spine edge and corners, but is now in a removable clear protective wrap. Scarce. VG/Fair.** In his book Strange World of the Moon, Firsoff suggested that there are underground oceans on the moon. Astronomer G. Fielder commented in the New Scientist magazine that most astronomers would not accept this view but as the book contains interesting new ideas it is recommended to all students of the moon. (wiki).
