How well do you know our closest neighbour? The moon has fascinated humankind since the beginning of history. But far from being just a big rock out in space, the moon has a phenomenal power over the earth, with its ability to create great waves, dictate the length of the day and summon the seasons. It is a key player in the story of our planet. In this unique celebration of the moon, lunar expert and space scientist Dr Maggie Aderin Pocock take readers on a journey through the moon's past, present and future. She uncovers the way the moon has captured our imaginations, contemplates how was formed, and uncovers why we need the moon to protect our fragile earth.
