Greeley and Batson (eds.): Planetary Mapping (1990)

(glossary entry)


Description

This is an excellent compendium of articles, written by experts in their fields, regarding the techniques (and the history of the techniques) used for constructing maps of solar system bodies based on data collected by remote sensing (whether from Earth or space). The information is presented in a very accessible way, and more clearly and concisely than in most other sources. Although all planets are discussed, a large part of each chapter deals with mapping of the Earth's Moon.
