The Moon is more than just a rock; it is a story that has captured our imagination for centuries. In the captivating book Still As Bright, author Cokinos takes readers on a journey through time and space, exploring the various human experiences associated with the Moon.

It will leave readers with a newfound appreciation for the Moon's beauty and significance, and will inspire them to continue exploring the mysteries of our universe.
