Since mankind first began to wonder about the cosmos we have dreamed of travelling to the Moon. From folklore and myths to the first science fiction, stories about our Moon inspired those scientists who turned these dreams into reality. It is fifty years since the Apollo astronauts first walked on the Moon, one of the greatest accomplishments of mankind. Now, there is a new space race to the Moon. In the last few years, all of the world's major space agencies as well as several private space companies have announced their goals of establishing a lunar settlement by 2030 - the future of lunar exploration is bright. Astronomy began by observing our Moon. Today, scientists are still making exciting discoveries about our celestial neighbour. From its origins, to the effects of the Moon on our planet and on life, this is a story I have long wanted to tell. In this biography of the Moon I will describe the history of our Moon, the latest research findings, and what the future holds for our magnificent Moon. Written in an understandable way by an Astrophysicist with a passion for understanding our Moon, this book should answer all your questions, from how our Moon causes the ocean tides to why we should go back and explore its surface.

[headline]Rethinks the relationship between architecture, literature and (in)visibility in the nineteenth-century city Ben Moore presents a new approach to reading urban modernity in nineteenth-century literature, by bringing together hidden, mobile and transparent features of city space as part of a single system he calls 'invisible architecture'. Resisting narratives of the nineteenth-century as progressing from concealment to transparency, he instead argues for a dynamic interaction between these tendencies. Across two parts, this book addresses a range of apparently disparate buildings and spaces. Part I offers new readings of three writers and their cities: Elizabeth Gaskell and Manchester, Charles Dickens and London, and Émile Zola and Paris, focusing on the cellar-dwelling, the railway and river, and the department store respectively. Part II takes a broader view by analysing three spatial forms that have not usually been considered features of nineteenth-century modernity: the Gothic cathedral, the arabesque and white walls. Through these readings, the book extends our understanding of the uneven modernity of this period. [bio]Ben Moore is Assistant Professor in English Literature at the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands. He is the author of Human Tissue in the Realist Novel, 1850-1895 (2023) and Co-Editor of the Gaskell Journal. His work has appeared in journals including Victorian Literature and Culture, Modernism/modernity, Modern Language Review and the Journal of Victorian Culture, as well as in various handbooks and edited collections.

This Pivot engages with current debates about anthropocentrism and the Anthropocene to propose a reappraisal of the realist novel in the second half of the nineteenth century. Through three case studies, it argues for ¿human tissue¿ as a conceptual tool for reading that brings together biology, literature and questions of layering. This new approach is shown to be especially salient to the Victorian period, when the application of ¿tissue¿ to biology first emerges. The book is distinctive in bringing together theoretical concerns around realism and the Anthropocene ¿ two major topics in literary criticism ¿ and presenting a new methodology to approach this conjunction, demonstrated through original readings of Charles Kingsley, George Eliot, and Emile Zola and two English-language writers he influenced (George Moore and Vernon Lee).

This book is about the history and future of life and the universe, written at a level that any educated lay-person can understand and enjoy.
