51009London: Lutterworth Press 1967. 1st edition. "The origin of the craters and other surface features of the Moon has been one of the major controversies between astronomers for many years.Many theories have been put forward but only two are now regarded seriously; either that the craters were formed by volcanic action or by meteorite impact.The approach of this book is essentially practical. It is unlike any previous work on the subject since the authors apply known geological principles to established observational data and yet state their case in a clearly expressed and extremely readable manner."

In view of the intensive current activity in this field including ongoing COBE and forthcoming RELIC II ISO AELITA etc. space missions a meeting fully dedicated to this important topic was timely.

"Proctor was elected a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1866. He became honorary secretary in 1872 and contributed eighty-three separate papers to its Monthly Notices. Of these the more noteworthy dealt with the distribution of stars star clusters and nebulae and the construction of the sidereal universe. He was an expert in all that related to map-drawing and published two star-atlases. A chart on an isographic projection exhibiting all the stars contained in the Bonner Durchmusterung was designed to show the laws according to which the stars down to the 9–10th magnitude are distributed over the northern heavens. His Theoretical Considerations respecting the Corona Monthly Notices xxxi. 184 254 also deserve mention as well as his discussions of the rotation of Mars by which be deduced its period with a probable error of 0.005. He also vigorously criticised the official arrangements for observing the transits of Venus of 1874 and 1882. He was elected as a member to the American Philosophical Society in 1874." from Wikipedia ; 438p. pages . J. B. Lipincott & Co. hardcover
