Krátky popis
A beautiful showcase of hand-drawn geological charts of the Moon,
combined with a retelling of the symbolic and mythical associations
of Earth’s satellite. President Kennedy’s rousing ‘We will go to
the Moon’ speech on 25 May 1961 set Project Apollo in motion and
spurred on scientists at the US Geological Survey in their efforts
to carry out geologic mapping of the Moon. Over the next 11 years a
team of 22 created 44 superb charts – one for each named quadrangle
on the Earthside of the Moon.In Lunar, for the first time, you can
see every beautifully hand-drawn and coloured chart accompanied by
expert analysis and interpretation by Smithsonian science curator
Matthew Shindell. Long a source of wonder, fascination and symbolic
significance, the Moon was crucial to prehistoric man in their
creation of a calendar, it played a key role in ancient creator
myths and astrology, and if has often been associated with madness.
Every mythical and cultural association of the Moon throughout
history is explored in this sumptuous volume, culminating in the
1969 Moon landing, which heralded the beginning of a whole new
scientific journey.
