Book of the Moon, The

Rick Stroud

In the garden shed, the Pilot scans the dials, issuing last minute orders to his co-pilot. Tensing for lift off he awaits the titanic forces that will hurl him through the sky into the black depths of space and the beginning of his epic journey across the quarter of a million miles that separates us from our nearest stellar neighbour, the Moon.

A volume packed with detail, and full of the derring do of the astronauts; a book that tells us about the mysterious, strange side of the Moon, whose power is so colossal and subtle and playful it makes the oceans move twice a day.

This book will be read by generations of schoolboys, their brothers, fathers and friends. This book is a compendium of everything you would ever want to know about the Moon and a description of all you ever thought you needed to know. A book that will bring you as close to standing on the Moon as you can get without actually going there.
The Book of the Moon was published by Transworld in 2009.
