“Stephen Harvey has done an excellent job at translating Schmidt’s most famous publication, and so the book should be of great value to astronomical historians and amateur astronomers interested in the Moon who wish to own this work, but cannot decipher the original in German” (Anthony Cook, The Observatory, Vol. 141 (1281), April, 2021)
