1st edition. "The origin of the craters and other surface features of the Moon has been one of the major controversies between astronomers for many years.Many theories have been put forward but only two are now regarded seriously; either that the craters were formed by volcanic action or by meteorite impact.The approach of this book is essentially practical.
