The Moon, source of light in darkness and ever-changing cosmic companion, has fascinated humanity since we first looked up at the sky.

In this volume, lavishly illustrated in full color, astronomer Robert Massey and historian Alexandra Loske offer a fascinating journey through all the areas in which the Moon has influenced humanity: from the space race to music, from romantic painting to religions, passing through literature, architecture, philosophy, photography, fashion, advertising or cinema. An essential transversal work to know how the Moon has made us who we are.
