Reviews
Origin of the Earth and Moon is one of the latest additions to the superb University of Arizona Space Science Series. It is just as good as the rest. The same care has gone into both selecting the authors and the topics of the twenty-nine review papers, and into ensuring that the subject is covered not only in depth but also in a way that makes it accessible to any keen, inquisitive astronomer. . . . This is a clear, timely, erudite, informative, well-referenced introduction to the details of the coupled formation and early evolution of the Earth/Moon system. -- The Observatory One of the most exciting volumes on the subject of planetary formation to have appeared to date. Together, the papers give the reader all the fascination of a good serial detective story, one in which amazing, exciting, and subtle discoveries are continually revealed by diligent research. . . . Anyone with the smallest interest in planetary science should have a copy of this book. -- Spaceflight
