Our Moon Av Rebecca Boyle

<p><b><i>The Moon feels like it is ours - it belongs to all of humanity. Every human culture, in both hemispheres, shares the Moon. </i></b><br><br><i>Our Moon</i> shows that our relationship with the Moon is far more powerful, and far more ancient, than Apollo''s postcards and bags of sand. Apollo and modern efforts to return humans to the Moon''s surface are just one chapter in the larger love story of humans and our eternal companion.<br><br>In this cultural and scientific history of the Moon from prehistory to the present day Rebecca Boyle takes us from exciting archaeological finds, to cultural and spiritual interpretations, from the monumental Apollo landing in 1969, to the latest scientific discoveries about the make-up of the moon, its origins and those of our own planet. It takes in archaeology, anthropology, sociology, cultural relevance, history of science, time and the planet, technological advances and that persistent desire to know where we come from and how we got here.<
