Author Video: Bernd Brunner takes us on a trip to the moon


The moon has long held a special significance for the people of Earth and throughout our cultural history the ‘night-sun’ has been represented in a multitude of forms. However, whatever shape it takes the Moon’s power over the human imagination has never diminished. In this video trailer to his book, Bernd Brunner explains why ‘you don’t have to travel to the moon in order to discover it’.

Werewolves and Wernher von Braun, Stonehenge and the sex lives of sea corals, aboriginal myths, and an Anglican bishop: in his book, Moon, Bernd Brunner weaves a wide range of sources and information into an enchanting glimpse of Earth’s closest celestial neighbour.
