Biographical sketches of 1,586 people who have been honored by having a feature of the moon named after them. Arranged alphabetically by name, the entries show birth and death dates; the type, location, and size of the feature; and a few sentences about the person, mostly recounting their scientific achievements. Appendices list women, professions, countries of origin. Features are also listed both by size and by coordinates so readers can find the memorial of their favorites either on the photographs included or on Luna herself. The bibliography is general rather than entry specific. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
