Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 4to (25.5 cm), XIX, 242 pp. Publisher's cloth, dust jacket (binding slightly rubbed at extremities). The definitive scholarly history of lunar cartography and nomenclature, written by one of the leading authorities on the subject. The book opens with the fundamental question that re-emerged durin…g the Apollo programme--why lunar sites such as "Tranquility Base" were so named--and uses this as a point of entry into a complex history marked by scientific rivalry, institutional politics, and repeated disputes over priority and authority. Whitaker emphasises that lunar nomenclature has long been shaped not only by observational astronomy, but also by controversy, "intrigues, politics, and acrimony," particularly from the seventeenth century onward. The study is organised into four major chronological eras. The first covers the origins of lunar mapping from pre-telescopic conceptions through the work of Harriot and Galileo, Gassendi, Van Langren and the early development of systematic nomenclature, Hevelius's Selenographia, and Riccioli's influential naming system, much of which remains in use. The second era follows the gradual refinement of selenography through the work of figures such as Wren, Hooke, Huygens, Cassini, Mayer, Lambert, Schröter, Lohrmann, and Beer and Mädler. The third examines nineteenth-century mapping efforts, including photographic techniques and the drive toward international standardisation culminating in the work of the British Association and the International Astronomical Union. The fourth addresses the Space Age, including the establishment of modern nomenclature guidelines, the mapping of the lunar far side, and the eventual resolution of competing naming systems. Extensive appendices provide full nomenclature lists from major historical mapping systems, including those of Van Langren, Hevelius, Riccioli, Schröter, and Mädler, as well as IAU resolutions and the NASA Catalogue of Lunar Nomenclature. A comprehensive bibliography concludes the volume. An essential reference work for the history of astronomy, lunar cartography, and planetary nomenclature.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Almost 30 years after the Apollo missions, 'Tranquillity Base', 'Hadley Rille', or 'Taurus-Littrow' are names still resonant with the enormous achievements represented by the lunar landings. But how did these places get their names Who named Copern…icus Crater Where did all those names on lunar maps come from, and what stimulated their selection Ewen Whitaker traces the origins and evolution of the present-day systems for naming lunar features, such as craters, mountains, valleys and dark spots. The connections between the prehistoric and historic names, and today's gazetteer are clearly described. Beautiful lunar maps spanning four centuries of progress wonderfully illustrate the unfolding of our ability to map the Moon. Rare, early, photographs add to the sense of history. Comprehensive appendices and the bibliography make this delightful book a work of lasting reference and scholarship.
