From the Earth on to Mars - Opto-Electronics in Terrestrial and Extraterrestrial Research de Artus, Otto Michael; Fletcher, Dr. James Chipman; et. al - 1973: Von der Erde zum Mars : Optik - Elektronik : Forschung im und aus dem Weltraum

West Germany: Oberkochen/Wurtt, 1973. Paperback. Good. Text in English and German. Thin oblong paperback, just shy of folio size. 1973, presumed first edition with no additional printings listed. A fair to good copy - with heavy wear at the edges - a large floppy publication so it has taken a bit of a beating around the edges including chips, minor bending, and corner bumps. Light soiling to the white rear cover, and scuffing to the black front cover (with a brilliant photo of a crater gracing the cover). Interior is full of full page color and black and white plates of Zeiss' space photography. 78 pp., with photos from Zeiss, for NASA and descriptive text alternating in German and English. A unique and amazing book in a truly awkward binding and format. Scarce in any condition.
