Observing
the Moon
Gerald North. Cambridge University Press, hardback 380
pages. This is a fantastic book, and really does a great deal to
motivate the study of the Moon. Until this book I always thought the
moon was just a dusty lump of rock. It is always clear, and varied, and
has many drawings and photos in it. This is another book one can
put to good use.
Full Moon
Michael Light, is a print catalogue of images taken by the Apollo moon
missions, the images are very well done and the pick of the crop, there
is a brief description of the images at the end of the book.
The New Atlas of the Moon
Thiery Legault, Bruner, This is a a fabulous large format book of the
moon showing high quality full size images of the moon for an entire
lunar cycle, it details the best features seen for a given day,
there are also plastic overlays on some of the images with names, so you
can see the moon with names and no names, highly recommended.
Discover the Moon
Jean Lacroux, Christian Legrand, a small format book focusing on what
you can look for at each day during the lunar cycle in some detail.
TheTimes Atlas of the Moon
Compiled in the 1960's and used by NASA to help pick out sites for
Apollo landings, it shows excellent drawings of the entire moon in some
of the highest detail you'll find in any printed atlas. While primarily
intended as a referance book, its can be used by the astronomer with a
keen interest in the Moon, a hard to find book these days.
The Hatfield Photographic Lunar
Atlas
Jeremy Cook, a compilation of photographic high resolution plate images,
showing details how you might see it at the eyepiece of a medium sized
telescope.
Lunar Atlas
Dinsmore Alter, An old atlas of 154 photographic plates detailing
sections of the Moon.
