For all of human history, the Moon has captured the world’s imagination. In this tribute volume, Wildsam explores the shared wonder of our celestial neighbor via archival storytelling, astronomical insight, essays, interviews and more.

"In beholding the mirror of the moon, we are seeing an echo of the sunlight that was cast many years ago—light-years—and which falls down upon us, the echo of an echo, encasing us as if in amber."
