Anyone who has ever looked at the night sky, has probably spent some time examining the moon and how it waxes and wanes across the sky. In this book, the author and artist of numerous astronautical, astronomical and science-friction illustrations and texts, examines the latest scientific findings and theories about our nearest planetary body. A significant portion of the book covers the latest and most accepted theory regarding the creation of the moon and its impact on the formation of the Earth. The book also outlines the latest theories on the evolution of life on our planet and the geology of the planet, past, present and future. The book concludes with a brief examination of the current state of the Earth and the manned and unmanned exploration of the moon.While this book is geared towards teenagers, most adults would definitely learn something as well. By the way, I found this book in my library's adult section.
