About This Book

L'ouvrage examine la forme extérieure et la structure interne de la Terre et de la Lune en combinant histoire des idées, observations et méthodes de mesure. Il retrace l'évolution des conceptions anciennes à l'approche scientifique moderne, expose les principes de la géodésie et de l'astronomie qui permettent d'estimer dimensions et forme du globe, décrit la topographie et la constitution des reliefs terrestres et lunaires — notamment les massifs et les dépressions — et discute comment les observations lointaines et les mesures locales se complètent pour inférer la structure interne et l'histoire des deux astres.
