This book, in three parts, describes three phases in the development of the modern theory and calculation of the Moon's motion. Part III describes the revolutionary developments in time-measurement and the determination of Earth-Moon and Earth-planet distances that led to the replacement of the Hill-Brown theory in 1984.
