Moon

British journalist and writer Oliver Morton highlights in his works the influence of scientific and technological progress on our lives. The Moon has long occupied a secondary place in mythological consciousness, in cultural context, and later in astronomical research. The brief peak of its fame, when humans walked on its surface, ended more than half a century ago. Nevertheless, the Moon is always nearby, modest but irreplaceable, inextricably linked with the past, present, and future of humanity. Morton creates a three-dimensional portrait of it, illustrating all facets of our interaction with it and clearly showing: whatever happens to us next, the Moon will continue to play its quiet yet key role.
