Reviews
"Through the course of human history, the sight of the Moon has captivated humanity's wildest imaginations, while its nightly presence has been a centerpiece of mythic and scientific hypotheses. Dr. David Warmflash has beautifully chronicled our fascination with--and discoveries from--our nearest neighbor in Moon: An Illustrated History . This fine book should be considered required reading for armchair lunar explorers, young and old." --Scott Parazynski, MD, NASA Space Shuttle astronaut (STS-66, 86, 95, 100, 120) and author of The Sky Below "This book addresses just about everything you might want to know about the moon and the intricate ways it's been intermingled with mankind's existence throughout time. The easy-to-read chapters are short and concise and cover a lot of ground in lunar science, ancient perspectives, past and present lunar explorations, and visions of future endeavors. Each chapter is accompanied by colorful full-page illustrations, diagrams, ancient artifacts, and historic photos, making it all the more engaging. I'm so pleased to include this delightful book in my collection." --Lucy West, International Space & Science Artist "Summarizing the Moon's impact on humanity is no small task--that's why I find Dr. David Warmflash's Moon: An Illustrated History to be such a refreshing read. Far from being a door-stopper of a textbook, Warmflash combines short and highly-informative chapters that delve into key points of our relationship with the Moon with beautiful illustrations. This book is as much at home on a coffee table as it is in an academic bookshelf, either for a quick read or as a valued reference resource. If you only have a fleeting interest in that orbiting alien world that shapes our lives every single day, or you're an expert who wants the entire history of the Moon in one book, this publication is for you." --Dr. Ian O'Neill, astrophysicist, science communicator, and editor of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific's Mercury magazine, "Through the course of human history, the sight of the Moon has captivated humanity's wildest imaginations, while its nightly presence has been a centerpiece of mythic and scientific hypotheses.

We learn about theories of its formation and early history, and its effects on the Earth--ranging from the rise of life on our planet to its impact on the human psyche across a dozen cultures. Luscious illustrations explain the concepts well, and the images of the Moon are spectacular. By mid-book we are treated to a history of human spaceflight efforts with the Moon as the ultimate goal, and the book concludes with a look at current missions and the future of lunar exploration. You will find stories and images here that you've not seen before . . . highly recommended." --Rod Pyle, author, journalist, and editor-in-chief, Ad Astra magazine for the National Space Society, "Astrobiologist David Warmflash organizes his review of 100 milestones in lunar history based on chronology, page by page, starting 4.5 million years ago with the moon''s formation and ending in anticipation of a "Moon Village" by 2044. With 100 illustrations, the book would fit right in on a coffee table but is compact enough to sit on a nightstand." --Geekwire.com "Through the course of human history, the sight of the Moon has captivated humanity''s wildest imaginations, while its nightly presence has been a centerpiece of mythic and scientific hypotheses.
