Staple bound. **"The Lunar Surface: Introduction" is a landmark scientific overview co-authored by Fred Edward Wright, F. E. Wright,. It was published in 1963 as a major chapter in the authoritative compendium The Moon, Meteorites, and Comets (Volume IV of The Solar System series), edited by Barbara M. Middlehurst and Gerard P. Kuiper: Written on the cusp of intense robotic and manned lunar exploration, this work synthesized the state of "selenology" (lunar geology) based purely on Earth-based telescopic observations, photometry, polarimetry, and early radar data before the Ranger, Surveyor, or Apollo missions returned direct surface measurements.The Wright Lunar Committee: F.
