Description
The Moon has been an object of fascination for religions, cultures, and societies the world over since the dawn of humanity.

The Moon Book is a beautifully illustrated account of our lunar neighbor in all its guises: a guiding light in the night sky, the driver of oceanic tides and natural cycles, the subject of exhaustive scientific study, and an enduring influence in literature, art, and popular culture.

Entries explore theories for the Moon's origins around 4.5 billion years ago, its influence on the calendar systems and methods of navigation of early societies, its role in the invention of the telescope and the science-fiction genre, the incredible story of the first Moon landings, and much more. Specially commissioned illustrations capture the Moon's phases and motions in vivid detail, while stunning photography and artefacts bring to life the rich history of lunar observation and exploration.

The last chapter of the book offers extensive coverage of NASA's Artemis mission to return astronauts to the lunar landscape in 2026, paving the way for future missions to Mars. Additionally, the book includes a guide to observing the Moon, complete with annotated maps and illustrated profiles of key features such as Tycho crater and the Sea of Tranquility.

Straddling science, culture, and history across the globe, The Moon Book is a captivating and richly informative celebration.
