B-18. Monograph on Ionospheric Radio, edited by W. J. G. BEYNON,X I I I t h General Assembly of URSI, London, September 1960, Elsevier, Amsterdam and N. Y., 1962. 264 pp. $12.00. Contents : Foreword ; The Electron Density/ Height Profiles [N(h)]; F-2 Region Ionization; Sporadic E. Ionization; Rocket and Satellite Data; VLF Emissions and Hydromagnetic Waves; Auroras; Ionospheric Scattering; Ionospheric Drifts; and Author Index. The papers were presented during the XIIIth general assembly of the International Scientific Radio Union in London in September 1960. The discussions of each paper are also included. B-19. The Moon, edited by ZD~EK KOPAL and ZDENKA KADLAMIXHAmOV, Academic Press, N. Y., 1962. 571 pp. $13.05. Contents: List of Contributors; Preface; I. Rocket Exploration of the Moon; II. Selenodesy and Mapping of the Moon; III. Origin, Internal Structure and Surface of the Lunar Globe; IV. Physical Studies of the Lunar Surface; V. Radio Observations of the Moon; Author Index. These fifty-three papers by one hundred scientists were presented at the symposium of Commission 14 of the International Astronomical Union at Pulkova Observatory in December 1960. The highly technical papers, nearly all of which are in English, are an important contribution to lunar studies.

Yakovin; Chapter II. Lunar Cartography and Selenographic Coordinates, Sh. T. Khabibullin; Chapter III. Description of the Lunar Surface, A. V. Markov; Chapter IV. The Problem of the Lunar Atmosphere, N. N. Sytinskaya; Chapter V. The Physical Properties of tile Lunar Surface, 1. The Albedo and Color of the Lunar Surface, N. P. Barabashov; 2.

Characteristic Features of the Relief of the Moon, A. V. Khabakov; Chapter VIII. The Role of External Cosmic Factors in the Evolution of the Moon, K. P. Stanyukovich and V. A. Bronshten; Chapter IX. The

Nature of the Lunar Surface, V. V. Sharonov; Conclusion; Appendices. This collection by eleven Soviet astronomers was first published in the Russian language in 1960. Each chapter contains an extensive bibliography.
B-21. The Morphology of the Earth, A Study and Synthesis of World Scenery, LzsTza C. KIN% Hafner, N. Y. (Oliver and Boyd Ltd., London), 1962. 699 pp. $12.50. Contents: Part A, The Basis of Scenery: The Behavior of the Earth's Crust; I. The Structure of the Earth's Crust; II. The Unity of Gondwanaland During the Late-Paleozoic and Mesozoic Eras; III. Continental Structure: (A) Shields; IV. Continental Structure: (B) Mobile Welts; Part B, The Development of Continental Scenery: Degradation and Aggradation: V. The Standard Cycle of Denudation; VI. Depositional Landforms within the Cycle; VII. Tectonics and Landscape Evolution; VIII. The Ages of Landsurfaces; Part C, The Scenery of the Plainlands: IX. The Geomorphology of Africa; X. Cyclic Landsurfaces in the Remainder of Gondwanaland ; XI. North American Plainlands ; XII. Cyclic Landsurfaces in Europe and Asia; Part D, The Scenery of the Mountainlands: XIII. Paleozoic Mountain Chains; XIV. The Mountain Ranges of Mesozoic and Cainozoie Time; XV. Modern Mountain Ranges; Part E, The Oceanic Basins; XVI. Forms and Features of Oceanic Basins; XVII. The Atlantic, Arctic, and Indian Oceanic Basins; XVIII. The Pacific Basin; Part F, Review; XIX. Towards a Model of the Earth; Selected Bibliography; Index. The evolution of the Earth's surface is studied by classification of landscape features and comparison of these from continent to continent. The author interprets the morphology of the Earth in terms of a standard set of current cyclic denudations from Mesozoic until recent times, using the most stable continent, Africa, as the type for morphological development.
B-22. The Planet Saturn, A History of Observation, Theory and Discovery, A. F. O'D ALEXANDER,MacMillan, N. Y., 1962. 474 pp. $12.00. This descriptive summary includes historical observations to the present. It is well-written, of interest to both layman and astronomer. An Appendix gives the opposition of Saturn from 1956 to 2000 and a section on observing Saturn. The author is director of the British A~tronomical Association Section on Saturn.
