There will be many things you know in here and some you don't, and some are interesting. The telling varies from confusing to engaging to dull to trite. It can be skipped with no real loss. ( ) This is an OK book - a quick read and some nice illustrations. As for the text, the author introduces themes and then doesn't really develop them (though, to be fair, the subtitle is A Brief History), it is rather Eurocentric and seems to dwell inordinately on attitudes towards the moon from the 1600s onwards. Yes, there is mention of ancient moon-lore, but this is often from the perspective of more recent times. Overall, it was interesting, but not as much so as it might have been. A nice introduction to the history of man's relationship with the moon, in culture, folklore, and scientific history. I am a bit disappointed in how superficially the subject is covered, this is an introductory text for a general reader. It's a bit surprising that a university press would have released this. However, it does bring the reader in and encourage further exploration of the topic, the annotated bibliography is an excellent addition and I would like to see that in more scholarly works. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
