land guided by the power of the tides  to the division of time into months and seasons for the
first humans  the moon has driven the expansion and development of our world. It has inspired
scientific discovery and culture from the ancient astronomers to the scientific revolution of
Copernicus and Galileo  from the 1969 Apollo landings to writers and artists  and stirred an
inexhaustible desire to know where we come from and how we got here. And as astronauts around
the world prepare to return to the Moon - opening up new frontiers of discovery  profit and
politics - Our Moon tells the dazzling story of how the Moon has shaped life as we know it 
fuelled dramatic change across the globe and could be the key to humanity's future.
