Reviews
" Our Moon is a riveting feat of science writing, which recasts that most familiar of celestial objects into something eerily extraordinary, pivotal to our history, and awesome in the original sense of the word. I learned so much." --Ed Yong, author of An Immense World "I learned more about the Moon by reading this book than after a lifetime of study. Fascinating insights into the Moon's origins and history, but more than that, what it has meant to us, the people of Earth. This book is a must-read for anyone who has looked up at the Moon in wonder. The Moon affects our tides, our calendar, our biology, and the history of Earth and life itself." --Chris Hadfield "An excellent exploration of how the moon has shaped life on Earth. Throughout, Boyle's dexterious blend of science and cultural history is elevated by her spry prose . . . This illuminates." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Our celestial neighbor has been like an invisible hand shaping tidal cycles, life's rhythms, and evolutionary history for over four billion years. Epic in scope--and almost poetic in its narrative beauty--Rebecca Boyle's Our Moon will change how you think about our planet, the Moon, and ourselves." --Neil H. Shubin, author of Your Inner Fish "Glinting with intriguing facts and fascinating connections, Our Moon reveals the astoundingly intimate relations between the closest heavenly body, the Earth and all life as we know it. Boyle's writing shines, shifting through time and space, science and sentiment; a luminous read." --Rebecca M. Wragg Sykes, author of Kindred "Our Moon is the captivating story of how the moon made us, and how we make sense of the moon. In telling the tale of Earth's oldest companion, Rebecca Boyle offers an absorbing account of the human experience, from the depths of philosophy to the trenches of war. Deftly written with a poet's precision and scientific sensibility, Our Moon establishes Boyle as one of preeminent nature writers of our time." --David W. Brown, author of The Mission "A vivid and moving exploration of [the Moon's] impact, showing how influential the pockmarked orb is and always has been. Boyle traces the Moon's civilizational importance from the beginning of terrestrial life to modern human society, revealing not just the scientific knowledge of that history but how humans made those discoveries, and why they matter. Our Moon is both robustly reported and compellingly personal. Inside its pages, past and present collide, and science and storytelling become one, as Boyle draws Earth's nearest neighbor closer to its inhabitants." --Sarah Scoles, author of Making Contact, "Our Moon is a riveting feat of science writing that recasts that most familiar of celestial objects into something eerily extraordinary, pivotal to our history, and awesome in the original sense of the word. I learned so much." --Ed Yong, author of An Immense World "I learned more about the Moon by reading this book than I have in a lifetime of study. Replete with fascinating insights into the Moon's origins and history, but more than that, what it has meant to us, the people of Earth, Our Moon is a must-read for anyone who has looked up at the Moon in wonder." --Chris Hadfield, astronaut, bestselling author of The Apollo Murders and The Defector "An excellent exploration of how the moon has shaped life on Earth . . . [Rebecca] Boyle's dexterous blend of science and cultural history is elevated by her spry prose. This illuminates." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review ) "Epic in scope--and almost poetic in its narrative beauty-- Our Moon will change how you think about our planet, the Moon, and ourselves." --Neil Shubin, author of Your Inner Fish "Glinting with intriguing facts and fascinating connections, Our Moon reveals the astoundingly intimate relations between the closest heavenly body, the Earth, and all life as we know it.

Deftly written with a poet's precision and scientific sensibility, Our Moon establishes Boyle as one of the preeminent nature writers of our time." --David W. Brown, author of The Mission "With a remarkable command of planetary science and human history, Boyle provides a sweeping, lyrical account of our cosmic neighbor." --Peter Brannen, author of The Ends of the World "This vivid and moving exploration of the Moon's impact shows how influential the pockmarked orb has always been. Past and present collide, and science and storytelling become one, as Boyle draws Earth's nearest neighbor closer to its inhabitants." --Sarah Scoles, author of Making Contact
Synopsis
LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD - NATIONAL BESTSELLER - "A riveting feat of science writing that recasts that most familiar of celestial objects into something eerily extraordinary, pivotal to our history, and awesome in the original sense of the word."--Ed Yong, New York Times bestselling author of An Immense World A NEW YORKER AND SMITHSONIAN BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR - A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Many of us know that the Moon pulls on our oceans, driving the tides, but did you know that it smells like gunpowder? Or that it was essential to the development of science and religion? Acclaimed journalist Rebecca Boyle takes readers on a dazzling tour to reveal the intimate role that our 4.51-billion-year-old companion has played in our biological and cultural evolution. Our Moon's gravity stabilized Earth's orbit--and its climate. It drew nutrients to the surface of the primordial ocean, where they fostered the evolution of complex life. The Moon continues to influence animal migration and reproduction, plants' movements, and, possibly, the flow of the very blood in our veins. While the Sun helped prehistoric hunters and gatherers mark daily time, early civilizations used the phases of the Moon to count months and years, allowing them to plan farther ahead. Mesopotamian priests recorded the Moon's position in order to make predictions, and, in the process, created the earliest known empirical, scientific observations. In Our Moon, Boyle introduces us to ancient astronomers and major figures of the scientific revolution, including Johannes Kepler and his influential lunar science fiction. Our relationship to the Moon changed when Apollo astronauts landed on it in 1969, and it's about to change again. As governments and billionaires aim to turn a profit from its resources, Rebecca Boyle shows us that the Moon belongs to everybody, and nobody at all., LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD * NATIONAL BESTSELLER * "A riveting feat of science writing that recasts that most familiar of celestial objects into something eerily extraordinary, pivotal to our history, and awesome in the original sense of the word."--Ed Yong, New York Times bestselling author of An Immense World A NEW YORKER AND SMITHSONIAN BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR * A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Many of us know that the Moon pulls on our oceans, driving the tides, but did you know that it smells like gunpowder?
