The book is structured on the double-page principle: each double page includes an almost always humorous professional drawing that relates to the text on the other page. This text is written in an easy-going, often humorous, but always mathematically correct manner. It mostly deals with an everyday subject that has a mathematical background or an unorthodox mathematical question. Readers can count on a wealth of surprising solutions to often complex problems.
Das Buch ist auf einem Doppelseiten-Prinzip aufgebaut: Jede Doppelseite weist eine fast immer humorvolle professionelle Zeichnung auf, die sich auf den Text der anderen Seite bezieht. Dieser Text ist locker, oft humorvoll, aber immer mathematisch korrekt geschrieben. Zumeist behandelt er ein Thema des Alltags, das einen mathematischen Hintergrund hat, oder eine unorthodoxe mathematische Fragestellung. Der Leser kann mit einer Fulle von anspruchsvollen und uberraschenden Ergebnissen rechnen
The Moon has always been an object of immense fascination for humanity – and not just because of its prominence in the night sky. With its complex orbit, it is far closer to our planet than any other celestial body. Already in ancient Babylon, humans have studied the Moon and its relationship to the planets and constellations.
Through incisive texts and illustrations using photos and computer simulations, this book explores the similarities and differences to other planets and their moons, the Moon’s interactions with the Sun and the Earth, and interesting historical associations.
In addition to scientifically accurate texts, it contains numerous large-format photographs and graphics that vividly explain the complex phenomenon of the Moon. Richly illustrated, it is designed for anyone interested in astronomy.
