{"product_id":"moon-13","title":"Moon","description":"A Sunday Times must read book of 2019 \n\n'An out-of-this-world read ... brilliant and compelling. Morton is a high-octane British science journalist, and every chapter is littered with material that strikes, amazes or haunts ... this is a book filled not just with a lifetime's knowledge of its subject but with a lifetime's suppressed excitement.'\nJames McConnachie, Sunday Times\n\nEvery generation has looked up from the Earth and wondered at the beauty of the Moon. 50 years ago, a few Americans became the first to do the reverse - with the whole world watching through their eyes.\n\nIn this short but wide-ranging book, Oliver Morton explores the history and future of humankind's relationship with the Moon. A counterpoint in the sky, it has shaped our understanding of the Earth from Galileo to Apollo. Its gentle light has spoken of love and loneliness; its battered surface of death and the cosmic. For some, it is a future on which humankind has turned its back. For others, an adventure yet to begin.\n\nAdvanced technologies, new ambitions and old dreams mean that men, women and robots now seem certain to return to the Moon. What will they learn there about the universe, the Earth-and themselves? And, this time, will they stay?","brand":"Profile Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251056595288,"sku":"9781788162555","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781788162555.jpg?v=1764695735","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/moon-13","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
