Excerpt from The History of the Moon Family Before and at the beginning of the Christian era, people had just one name, such as Paul, Silas, John and Peter. As the population grew there was a confusion of names by several persons having the same name. To avoid this, surnames had to be added to the first or Christian name. These names were obtained in various ways. For example, Robert was by trade a jewel smith, hence he was called Robert Smith. His only son was called Robertson, and John's eldest son was called Johnson. James, the miller, was called James Miller, and so on. The Moon name originated in a very peculiar manner, but nevertheless it should mean very much to this family, as we shall see a little farther on. The ancestral history of this family is quite elaborate, extending back through the avenues of several centuries. During a certain period of history the Kingdom of Denmark formed a part of the English dominion. Within this period of English rule the king of England made a requisition on the king of Denmark for a regiment of soldiers. The Danish monarch, regarding it an honor, furnished the king with a selection of men, erect in stature, athletic, brave, and of a determined mind; of light complexion, blue eyes, red hair, with temper, and six feet tall. The banner which they fought under had, in addition to the national colors, the inscription of a half moon; they fought a battle by the light of the moon and won a great victory, which pleased the king very much for their bravery and success, for which the king granted them land in England if they would settle there. A large number accepted the offer and settled in a colony. Then they unanimously adopted the name of moon, and the land grant was given in this name. This is given as the origin of the name Moon. Dear reader, you ought to be proud of this name, which is the beginning of your ancestral name. Your pedigree sprang from these selected soldiers, perfect in every respect, the highest type of man. Now it is left with you to maintain this high standard by right living and right marriage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"A celebration of the 50th anniversary of NASA's Apollo missions to the moon, this narrative uses 50 key artifacts from the Smithsonian archives to tell the story of the groundbreaking space exploration program. Bold photographs, fascinating graphics, and engaging stories commemorate the 20th century's most important space endeavor: NASA's Apollo program to reach the moon. From the lunar rover and an emergency oxygen mask to space food and moon rocks, it's a carefully curated array of objects--complete with intriguing back stories and profiles of key participants. This book showcases the historic space exploration program that landed humans on the moon, advanced the world's capabilities for space travel, and revolutionized our sense of humanity's place in the universe. Each historic accomplishment is symbolized by a different object, from a Russian stamp honoring Yuri Gagarin and plastic astronaut action figures to the Apollo 11 command module, piloted by Michael Collins as Armstrong and Aldrin made the first moonwalk, together with the monumental art inspired by these moon missions. Throughout, Apollo to the Moon also tells the story of people who made the journey possible: the heroic astronauts as well as their supporters, including President John F. Kennedy, newsman Walter Cronkite, and NASA scientists such as Margaret Hamilton."--Publisher's website.

In 1492, two history-altering events occurred: the Jews and Muslims of Spain were expelled, and Columbus set sail for the New World. Many Spanish Jews chose not to flee and instead became Christian in name only, maintaining their religious traditions in secret. Among them was Luis de Torres, who accompanied Columbus as an interpreter. Over the centuries, de Torres’ descendants traveled across North America, finally settling in the hills of New Mexico. Now, some five hundred years later, it is in these same hills that Miguel Torres, a young amateur astronomer, finds himself trying to understand the mystery that surrounds him and the town he grew up in: Entrada de la Luna, or Gateway to the Moon. Poor health and poverty are the norm in Entrada, and luck is rare. So when Miguel sees an ad for a babysitting job in Santa Fe, he jumps at the opportunity. The family for whom he works, the Rothsteins, are Jewish, and Miguel is surprised to find many of their customs similar to those his own family kept but never understood. Braided throughout the present-day narrative are the powerful stories of the ancestors of Entrada’s residents, portraying both the horrors of the Inquisition and the resilience of families. Moving and unforgettable, Gateway to the Moon beautifully weaves the journeys of the converso Jews into the larger American story.

Using werewolves and Wernher von Braun, Stonehenge and the sex lives of sea corals, aboriginal myths, and an Anglican bishop in this new book, the author weaves variegated information into a glimpse of Earth's closest celestial neighbor, whose mere presence inspires us to wonder what might be out there. Going beyond the discoveries of contemporary science, he presents a cultural assessment of our complex relationship with Earth's lifeless, rocky satellite. As well as offering an engaging perspective on such age old questions as "What would Earth be like without the moon?" he surveys the moon's mythical and religious significance and provokes existential soul searching through a lunar lens, inquiring, "Forty years ago, the first man put his footprint on the moon. Will we continue to use it as the screen onto which we cast our hopes and fears?" Drawing on materials from different cultures and epochs, he walks readers down a moonlit path illuminated by more than seventy-five vintage photographs and illustrations. From scientific discussions of the moon's origins and its chronobiological effects on the mating and feeding habits of animals to an illuminating interpretation of Bishop Francis Godwin's 1638 novel The Man in the Moone, his interdisciplinary explorations recast a familiar object in an original light.
