Luna Cognita A Comprehensive Observer’s Handbook of the Known Moon

“Everything about these volumes demonstrates the most meticulous attention to detail, arrangement, editing and proof-reading. In strongly recommending Lun Cognita to the reader, I warmly congratulate both author and publisher in having brought us an affordable and truly monumental lunar encyclopaedia.” (Richard McKim, Journal of the British Astronomical Association, Vol. 130 (5), 2020)



“This is a work that should be acquired by everyone interested in our Moon, and Robert Garfinkle should be congratulated on an outstanding contribution to the literature on the subject.” (Bill LeatherBarrow, The Observatory, Vol. 140 (1278), October, 2020)



“This wonderful set has something for every observer. … Altogether, the set is beautifully published, with quality printing, good photos, and solid binding.” (Nick Kanas, Sky & Telescope, December, 2020)



“Luna Cognita is a triumph of both Garfinkle’s desire to spread his love of the Moon and Springer’s ability to publish such a huge high-quality volume. Luna Cognita effectively folds lunar mystery and lore, science and statistics, facts and figures and observational data into one massive collection that more than fulfills a true selenophile’s yearning to have everything Moon at their fingertips.” (Robert Reeves, Journal of the Association of Lunar & Planetary Observers, Vol. 62 (3), 2020)



“It is a comprehensive guide in three volumes, the type of which has not been published in such length for years. … This is an astonishing piece of work, 30 years in the making: an exceptional book that the writer should be very proud of. FIVE STARS.” (Katrin Raynor-Evans, BBC Sky at night magazine, March, 2020)
