The passage of the Moon across the night sky has long been a familiar, but mysterious, sight to man. Newton, with his laws of motion and inverse square law of gravity, was able to predict all the planetary orbits, at least in principle. However, an exact solution of the Moon's motion in the gravitational fields of the Sun and Earth defeated Newton and all his successors.
The Motion of the Moon is a comprehensive account of the theoretical developments right up to the present day. All astronomers, physicists and mathematicians interested in the Moon will find this a very stimulating book.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 1st Edition. ULTRA RARE inscription/light marks/light stains / pencil/pen marks fading cover- - The Motion of the Moon is a highly specialized academic monograph written by the distinguished British physicist and geophysicist Sir Alan Hugh Cook. Published on 1 January 1988 by Adam Hilger (now under CRC Press), this 236-page volume provides a historical and structural chronicle of humanity's attempts to mathematically solve the irregularities of lunar orbit.Core Focus & Theoretical ScopeRather than serving as a standard computation workbook, Cook's text reads as a literary and technical review of celestial perturbation methods.The Three-Body Problem: Focuses heavily on why an absolute, exact solution to the Moon's path across the competing gravitational fields of the Earth and Sun historically defeated Sir Isaac Newton and generations of mathematical successors.Newtonian Critique: Devotes significant analysis to pinpointing exactly where Newton's classical lunar analytical equations fell short, while explaining why those historical geometric frameworks still provide scientific value today.Accessible Approach: Structural concepts and astronomical methods are framed via physical, verbal descriptions alongside critical mathematical equations, helping readers bridge the gap between abstract physics and dynamic planetary geometry. ref ab1/v.
