Moon Paradise by Assouline is out now. Grateful to see the Moon Temple and Peak of Eternal Light being part of this extraordinary journey. 

For centuries the moon had been synonymous with mystery, an unknown. But over the years, mankind has studied this brilliant satellite and even managed to venture there. Mystery became discovery, which then became possibility. Earth’s moon is a constant—universal to every human, both past and present. A rare, unifying phenomenon. It transcends languages, continents and fields of study. But perhaps, most commonly, it is a source of inspiration. The moon’s influence is not contained in scientific inquiry, but can be found in fashion, art, architecture and film. The moon is more than just a natural satellite—it is a beacon of hope, a pinnacle to strive for.
