The Mountains of the Moon is a novel written by John Davys Beresford and published in 1915. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the journey of a group of explorers who venture into the heart of Africa in search of a fabled mountain range known as the Mountains of the Moon. The group is led by a young British explorer named Mark Loring, who is determined to prove the existence of the Mountains of the Moon and to discover the secrets that lie within. Along the way, they encounter a variety of challenges and obstacles, including hostile tribes, treacherous terrain, and dangerous wildlife. As they journey deeper into the heart of Africa, the group begins to unravel the mysteries of the Mountains of the Moon, uncovering ancient ruins and encountering strange and mystical creatures. Along the way, they also confront their own personal demons and learn important lessons about courage, perseverance, and the power of friendship. The Mountains of the Moon is a thrilling adventure story that combines elements of fantasy and science fiction with real-life historical events and cultural traditions. It is a vivid and engaging tale that transports readers to a world of danger, mystery, and wonder, and explores themes of exploration, discovery, and the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Primitive Meteorites and Asteroids
<p><i>Primitive Meteorites and Asteroids: Physical, Chemical, and Spectroscopic Observations Paving the Way to Exploration </i>covers the physical, chemical and spectroscopic aspects of asteroids, providing important data and research on carbonaceous chondrites and primitive meteorites. This information is crucial to the success of missions to parent bodies, thus contributing to an understanding of the early solar system. The book offers an interdisciplinary perspective relevant to many fields of planetary science, as well as cosmochemistry, planetary astronomy, astrobiology, geology and space engineering.</p> <p>Including contributions from planetary and missions scientists worldwide, the book collects the fundamental knowledge and cutting-edge research on carbonaceous chondrites and their parent bodies into one accessible resource, thus contributing to the future of space exploration. </p><br>Dr. Abreu is a Planetary Scientist with a background in geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, physics, and astronomy. Dr. Abreu's interests are: (1) determining the effects of asteroidal processes that resulted in the mineralogical and petrologic characteristics of chondrites, including brecciation, aqueous alteration, thermal metamorphism, and shock metamorphism&#x3b; (2) understanding the origin and distribution of volatiles and organics in chondritic meteorites, including hydrated silicates&#x3b; (3) determining the spatial scale of chemical compositional variations resulting from processes operating on asteroidal regoliths&#x3b; (4) using chondrites to constrain the composition and structure of asteroidal regoliths and (5) determining what can be learned about asteroidal regoliths from proximity and contact exploration. Dr. Abreu has published and refereed numerous peer-reviewed articles on the characteristics of carbonaceous chondrites. She has served as the principal of a NASA grant and collaborator in several others. She was part of the 2009-2010 Antarctic Search for Meteorites field season, for which she received the NSF Antarctic Service Medal. Dr. Abreu has been part of numerous NASA grant review panels and served in the program committees of national and international conferences.<br>
