The Moon: From Imagination to Exploration (ISBN 978-0241569504) is a richly illustrated journey through humanity’s relationship with the Moon, from night‑sky guide and driver of tides to a focus of scientific inquiry and a lasting force in art, literature, and popular culture. It traces origins, myths, calendars, telescopes, and the space race through to Artemis, pairing commissioned illustrations with archival photography to illuminate lunar observation and exploration.
