Starting from how the moon was formed, the science of the effects of the moon on the Earth and how life and the moon interact and influence one another, Our Moon delves into the relationship between life and the moon. I enjoyed reading about the moon's origins and how scientists have determined that the moon was formed from the collision of two other planetary bodies and the unique rocks and minerals found there that tell of its history. Most interesting <u class="showmore_hide">to me was the way humans have regarded the moon through history to the present. The moon helped to shape life on Earth and was our timekeeper, calendar and constant in the sky. I was intrigued by the long worship of the moon goddess, Sin and the women on Earth who worshipped her and her phases. I also enjoyed the archaeological data that supports multiple ancient cultures showing knowledge of the moon's cycles and utilizing that information for timekeeping and acting as a calendar. Most of all, Our Moon examined the moon's influence upon human culture and advancement. <br><br>This book was received for free in return for an honest review.</u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a
