The Earth and its Moon

One of a series on ‘The Earth and Space’, this is a clear and accurate account in 20 spreads of the motion, history, surface appearance, structure and atmosphere of the Earth and Moon, explaining eclipses and moon phases. There are spreads on atmosphere, weather and life on Earth. Oxlade explains why we never see the far side of the Moon from Earth. The illustrations are admirable and there are Space fact, Earth fact, and How do we know? boxes, a Timeline of Discovery, a Website list, a Glossary and Index.
