A complete guide to the Moon? In this video, Robert reviews all three volumes of LUNA COGNITA: A Comprehensive Observer's Guide to the Known Moon - by Robert A. Garfinkle.
This extraordinary book set should appeal to anyone participating in the ongoing cultural relationship with our closest celestial neighbour. A relationship that's as old and mysterious as our species. And unless you've never heard of the Moon, that probably includes you.
This book is the ultimate guide to our Moon, not Nasa's or the Chinese Space agencies Moon, but the Moon humans have seen and sung about forever. The Moon you can probably see tonight and explore with a telescope.
Please note: the Cambridge Photographic Lunar Atlas seems to be out of print or in short supply in some regions, however, we have added the links as electronic versions are available.
