We used to do our own car repairs with them, but now we have moved on to rockets, Star Trek/Wars vehicles, and now, the Moon! A very fun book with great information about our wonderful tide turner, in a clear format. Nice hard cover book. Always a fun gift for the space nut in your life! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Nice book would recommend! *by B***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2023* Neat book would recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, but rather choppy *by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2016* Although the title makes it sound like a novelty guide for prospective lunar dictators, this book actually provides a concise chronological overview of lunar science from the days of Plato and Aristotle to the present day. Although David Harland has written a number of detailed works on the manned and unmanned exploration of the Moon, this "manual" seeks to condense a very complex subject into a single heavily illustrated volume.Where this book largely excels is in its detailed, but readable, explanations of the fine arts of selenology and selenography. Despite being only 172 pages, this book covers subjects as diverse as Lunar Orbiter's photographic system, to the formation of the Apennine Range, and Aristarchus determining the distance between Earth and the Moon. As a bit of an astronomy dunce, I appreciated the plain-language explanations of certain aspects of lunar science that had eluded me over the years. David Woods has provided a number of crisp diagrams explaining, to give a couple examples, the difference between a Synodic and Sidereal month, how librations occur, and Kepler's laws of planetary motion. On a visual level, this is another home run for Haynes. There are photographs, maps, diagrams, and paintings on almost every page, and the reproduction quality is extremely good this time. David Woods has done an excellent job cleaning up old NASA diagrams, re-annotating them and adding color where needed.Dr. Harland co-wrote a manual for Haynes last year on the Gemini spacecraft, and this one also displays many of the same strengths and weaknesses of the format. Although the material contained within is exceptionally good, this book is screaming out for at least another 20 pages just to flesh things out. I would have loved to have seen more on the Luna and Lunik programs, some detailed asides on the Lunokhod rovers, descriptions of the Apollo lunar surface experiments and SIM bay instruments...well, you get the picture! As a result, this book feels rather choppy in places.Although it suffers somewhat from Haynes' editorial constraints, this is another pretty solid entry in their "Workshop Manual" series. The subject is perhaps too big for a single book, but David Harland has done an admirable job explaining lunar science to us folks who don't have PhDs. If anything, it's convinced me to start tracking down some of the space books he's written for Springer/Praxis. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/29030500-moon-manual-haynes-owners-workshop-manual](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/29030500-moon-manual-haynes-owners-workshop-manual) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
