OverviewOur understanding of the evolution of the moon has changed dramatically over the last two decades, principally as a result of the intense, sophisticated study of rocks returned to Earth during the Apollo programme. This book describes lunar rocks in detail with particular emphasis on the minerals they contain, their somewhat unique textures and the various experiments performed on them that shed light on their genesis. This important database is then integrated into a discussion on the evolution of the moon and our own planet. Understanding the Moon is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in terrestrial igneous petrology and planetology. It is written at a fairly technical level, but the chapters about the surface geology and lunar geology should find wider appeal amongst those generally interested in solar system evolution. This book should be of interest to undergraduates and postgraduates studying planetary geology, igneous petrology and planetary sciences. Full Product DetailsAuthor: I.
