OUR MOON How Earth's Celestial Companion Transformed the Planet, Guided Evolution, and Made Us Who We Are

by | Read by Rebecca Lowman

Contemporary Culture • 12 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2024

Rebecca Lowman's warm, easygoing performance creates a relaxed space for listeners to engage with this expansive cultural and scientific exploration of Earth's and humanity's relationship with the moon across time. The interconnectedness between each section is enhanced as Lowman clearly voices the science behind our world and its living organisms, and the mythos inspired by our natural satellite. Lowman's even pacing moves with ease between the lunar religious observances of ancient Babylon and Scotland, the timekeeping practices of dominant empires, WWII battlefield strategy, and moon landings. Footnotes are interspersed throughout, coming across as personal asides to listeners. This well-rounded production gives plenty of food for thought, inviting us to ponder our own part in Earth's ongoing and essential relationship with our moon.
