Maryam Sach's light and witty text traces the history of our approaches to the moon, from the folkloric to the scientific.It describes the planet's habits, lists moon gods and goddesses, and covers myths and superstitions, as well as the symbolism and the gender of the moon, lunar calendars, astrology, and moon magic.
Throughout time, the moon has spoken to poets, philosophers, and astrologers, and its ever-changing image has been captured by artists from all cultures and periods. Illustrated with Renaissance frescoes, Tlingit masks, Chinese architecture, nature photography, and icons of popular culture, The Moon includes Persian court poetry, Shakespearean verse, and provocative words of wisdom from Native American tradition. Elegant and evocative, this volume of lore and legend will be treasured by all readers.
