The Moon: From Imagination to Exploration

Few celestial bodies have captured the human imagination quite like the Moon, and this book delivers a beautifully crafted tribute to Earth's nearest neighbour.

With a foreword from seasoned astronomer and author Adrian West, and contributions from six science writers - including archaeoastronomer Carolyn Kennett and astronomer Philip Eales - this book orbits gracefully through the Moon's scientific history, its enigmatic surface and the ever-evolving story of human lunar exploration.

Dorling Kindersley has a knack for producing informative, colourful and engaging books crammed with facts on every page. I've loved their titles since I was young, and now, even into my 40s, this latest work - written in association with the Smithsonian Institution - holds the same appeal.
