Scott Montgomery has produced a richly detailed analysis of how the Moon has been visualized in Western culture through the ages, revealing the faces it has presented to philosophers, writers, artists, and scientists for nearly three millennia. To do this, he has drawn on a wide array of sources that illustrate mankind's changing concept of the nature and significance of heavenly bodies from classical antiquity to the dawn of modern science."--BOOK JACKET., 1, , Modern Book, Purchase, , , 2008.216, , , Moon., Moon, Moon, Moon, , , , , 0, 0, 0, 0, In art., Maps., In literature., Montgomery, Scott L., Tucson : University of Arizona Press, c1999, Online version:, 0, 8, Moon & the western imagination., (OCoLC)624183299, Baker and Taylor, BTCP, , , 99006090, HELD BY AP$ - 541 OTHER HOLDINGS, , , c, a, m, 4, a, a40738870zDLCdURIhCoreiLCCkDDCnSummaryppcctContentsu20121212, a152068908zUXGbFOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20100803, a271263889zAN#bMORGAN LIBR & MUSEUM THEhFulliLCCkDDCu20100804, a133766879zRBNbBROWN UNIVhCoreiLCCppccu20100727, a239174829zHLSbHARVARD UNIV, HARVARD COL LIBRhLess-than-full batchiLCCkDDCu20100922, a486837053zZYUbNEW YORK UNIVhCoreiLCCkDDCppccu20131009, a367656465zUBYbBRIGHAM YOUNG UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCppccqcatu20100726, a269464777zSTFbSTANFORD UNIV LIBRhCoreiLCCkDDCppccu20100802, a190375665zPAUbUNIV OF PENNSYLVANIAhCoreiLCCkDDCppccu20100712, a124836701zIPSbINSTITUTE FOR ADV STUDY LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCppccu20100709, a475841649zTEUbTEMPLE UNIVhCoreu20100722, aZ0bAP$, DATE_RECEIVED, 2008-11-1, QB581 .M6475 1999
