Hardcover. Condizione: Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. The blurb from this 1954 Frederick Muller Ltd Edition of H. Percy Wilkins' Our Moon reads as: The Moon is the nearest of all celestial bodies and will, undoubtedly, be the first world in space to be visited by rocket-ship. It is therefore of great interest, and may soon become a matter of importance, to know as much as possible about this alien world, especially the nature of the surface features. Not only the immense mountain ranges, gigantic craters, bottomless pits and clefts but many strange objects, unknown on the earth, are described in this book in language that everyone can understand. Wilkins, the leading authority on the Moon, [was] Director of the British Astronomical Association (Lunar Section) and spent sixteen years preparing what is now universally acknowledged as the standard map of the Moon. In these pages, Wilkins takes the reader to the eyepieces of some of the largest telescopes in the world and illustrates his descriptions with drawings, maps, and photographs, most of which were specially made for this book, before ending with a survey of evidence of lunar changes and possible forms of life. Although some concepts may be outdated by today's standards, this book offers fascinating historical and scientific insight, written just a year before the Space Race officially began in 1955. Book remains in great condition considering its age, very clean and bright, great item for reading and/or collecting. Minor wear to dust jacket, with cellophane covering now protecting from any further damage. Moderate foxing to a few page edges. Previous owner's inscription at front. Please see photographs.
