Mutch: Geology of the Moon: a stratigraphic view (1970)

(glossary entry)

Description

A geologist's attempt, at the height of the Apollo program, to summarize the geologic mapping and analysis of the Moon accomplished to that point.

Part of the purpose of the book was to preserve a snapshot of lunar thinking just prior to the return of the first surface samples from Apollo, although a final chapter was adding describing the first results from Apollo 11.
