Julius Schmidt was one of the finest astronomical observers of his
time, and his detailed map of the Moon surpassed anything that had
come before. Today, the German astronomer and geophysicist has
remained a largely neglected figure, despite being one of the most
important players in the history of lunar studies. This book at
last makes accessible Schmidt's highly regarded German work, Der
Mond. Considered an astronomical classic of the nineteenth century,
Der Mond remained without a proper English counterpart for the last
century and a half, until now. The author's faithful English
translation provides readers with much-needed access into Schmidt's
original publication, with the aim of showing the community just
how vital his work and legacy have been in the international field
of selenography.
