== The definition of the topic ==

At present, hypothesis of the formation of the Moon from material of the Earth-mantle is a paradigm. It suggests collision of the Earth with a large (Mars-size) body during the first 30-50 million years of the Earth history. This hypothesis, known as the giant impact hypothesis, was coined in the middle of the 1970s and gained acceptance because it provided a simple solution for a number of dynamic and geochemical problems. However, during the course of time some inconsistencies of the impact hypothesis have surfaced. It is not the purpose of this book to make a critical review of the giant impact hypothesis. Instead, we would like to show another mechanism of the formation of the Moon, different from the collision model, which considers the geochemical constraints and results of the dynamic simulation.

== The reason for publication (why this book is needed) ==

The giant impact hypothesis of the Moon formation is very well known, but other possible scenarios are left in a shadow. However, the giant impact hypothesis is incapable of explaining some geochemical aspects of the situation. The book is aimed to explain the competing scenarios and show the alternative possibilities for the Earth-Moon formation. Such a monograph, written in a fair and balanced manner, could be a truly valuable acquisition to the planetology community.

== Proposed list of contents ==

;Preface

;I The Moon

* History of study.
* The Moon as a celestial body. 
* Structure, chemical composition and mineralogy.
* Lunar geology.
* Data on the age of the Moon.

;II Solar system

* Beginning of the Solar system.
* Extrosolar planetary systems.
* Possible scenarios of accumulation of planets.

;III Hypotheses of the Moon’s origin

* The giant impact model.
* Other models.

;IV The model of formation of the Earth-Moon system via fragmentation of the initial gas-dust concentration

* Enrichment of the Moon in refractory elements and depletion in volatiles. 
* Volatility of iron.
* Evaporation of particles during contraction of the initial cloud is a crucial factor for both: dynamic of its fragmentation and depletion of the Moon in iron.
* Geochemical consequences following from the model and how they are reconciled with the observations. 

;V Isotope constraints for evolution of the gas-dust cloud initial for Earth and Moon and again of their formation
	 
* Stable isotopes
* 182Hf-182W
* 87Rb-87Sr
* 129I-129Xe, 244Pu-136Xe
* 236U-208Pb, 235U-207Pb

;VI Dynamics of the Earth-Moon formation 
* Existing models for simulation of the dynamics of the Earth-Moon formation.
* Modelling of the Earth-Moon system formation using particles.
* Sequential stages of Earth-Moon system formation.
* Formation of the gas-dust cloud.
* Rotational collapse.
* Accumulation growth of the Earth and Moon embryos.
* Results of the dynamics simulation and analysis of their dependence on the model parameters and conditions of the computations.
