RaveThe New York Times Book ReviewBoyle walks the reader through a history of both Earth and humanity, from the formation of our planet and the evolution of life to the development of civilization, religion, philosophy and, eventually, science ... Boyle, whose graceful writing is as lulling as a bedtime story, paints the moon as more than just a driver of physical phenomena ... Boyle finds the moon in places I would never think to look. And she has convinced me that though our connection to it is ever-changing, the moon perseveres as a source of knowledge, wonder and influence — and is anything but dull ... Timely ... Makes the moon feel closer than ever.
