It covers a wide range of topics related to the moon, including its physical properties, its influence on Earth, lunar geology, and the history of lunar exploration.Harley begins by examining the beliefs and theories about the moon held by ancient civilizations, including the Greeks, Romans, and Chinese. He then moves on to discuss the scientific discoveries made during the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods, such as the phases of the moon and the laws of gravity.The book also covers the more recent history of lunar science, including the space race of the 1960s and the various missions to the moon by NASA and other space agencies. Harley provides detailed descriptions of the equipment and technology used in these missions, as well as the scientific discoveries made by the astronauts who visited the moon.Throughout the book, Harley emphasizes the importance of lunar science in understanding the history and evolution of the solar system. He also discusses the potential future uses of the moon, such as a base for further space exploration or as a source of resources for Earth.Overall, Lunar Science: Ancient and Modern is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history and science of the moon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
