Publisher Synopsis
'... it will most certainly appeal ... to serious amateur astronomers with a keen interest in the Moon ... undoubtedly the most authoritative source of lunar nomenclature currently available ... the atlas is an indispensable reference to lunar surface features (especially on the far side), the geology surrounding features and lunar nomenclature.' Astronomy and Space '[The] Clementine Atlas has quickly become one of the lunar references that I use the most. It's the most convenient and accurate resource for identifying named features. It's also a great research tool ... [The] Clementine Atlas reigns as the most comprehensive atlas of the entire Moon.' Charles A. Wood, Sky and Telescope 'A substantial book, intended as a complete reference work for both professionals and the serious amateur. The text throughout is both accessible and non-technical ... Technically, the authors have achieved their aim of placing the entire Moon between two covers.' Journal of the British Astronomical Association 'This is a very comprehensive Atlas of the Moon ... an essential reference work for those who study and/or observe our near neighbour.' Spaceflight 'This splendid book is timely in view of the growing interest in stepping up exploration of the Moon, and will stand as a landmark publication in lunar studies. A 'must' for all those interested in the Earth's satellite.' Geological Magazine 'For students of the Moon, this is one of the best photographic lunar atlas reference books, because it covers almost the entire lunar surface (99%) ... Overall I highly recommend this book for all lunar observers of all expertise levels.' Robert A. Garfinkle, Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers "...an exceptionally useful volume...it is highly recommended to lunar scientists and advanced amateur astronomers." M.-K. Hemenay, University of Texas at Austin, Choice "This is the first atlas to show the entire lunar surface in uniform scale and format." Astronomical Society of the Pacific "...the Clementine Atlas has quickly become one of the lunar references that I use the most. It's the most convenient and accurate resource for identifying names features. It's also a great research tool." Sky & Telescope, Charles A. Wood Read more...
