Description

The moon is the only natural satellite of the earth, and is the second brightest object in the sky after the sun. Since prehistoric times, the moon has been an object of fascination, awe, and even worship for many peoples worldwide. Called Luna by the Romans, Selene and Artemis by the Greeks, and many other names in other mythologies, it has always been a romantic icon. Even after man had walked on the moon it retained its romantic appeal.
The fortieth anniversary of the moon landing is an opportunity to celebrate that epic voyage. As well, this special book explores the importance of the moon in music, theatre, cinema, literature, and poetry.
