| Description | Enclosing bibliographies on the moon [see pages 2-3]. Thinks that the word 'geology' should not be included in the title of the lunar group. Says that 'Geology is a misnomer anyway. Secondly, the influx of geologists into the subject is, in my view, excessive, and based on the notion that arguments by similarity with the earth will be valuable. If the moon turns out to be undifferentiated and not shaped by volcanism the geologist may not have much to do with it -- the processes may all require a basic physical and chemical approach to be understood, rather than arguments by analogy with the earth. Physics and chemistry of the moon is a good title if something new is needed, but personally I am against any change'. |
