Sun and Moon

Published to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the first moon landing, this book links astronomy, photography, and cartography in an unprecedented history of all three sciences, showing how the development of each of them fed off the other two. From the seventeenth- century spirit of exploration to the most recent images from the Hubble Telescope and maps of the surface of Mars, this remarkable story is told visually through stunning, rarely seen images, with informative captions and authoritative, accessible chapter essays.
