Moon. Morton O.

British journalist and writer Oliver Morton covers in his works the influence of scientific and technological progress on our lives. The moon from time immemorial has occupied a secondary place in the mythological consciousness, in a cultural context, and then in astronomical studies. The brief apogee of her glory, when people walked along the lunar surface, ended more than half a century ago. Nevertheless, the moon is always nearby, modest, but indispensable, inextricably linked with the past, present and future of humanity. Morton creates her voluminous portrait, draws all the faces of our interaction with her and clearly shows: no matter what happens to us further, the moon will continue to play its quiet, but key role.
