Gids voor de Maan
Binnenkort lopen er waarschijnlijk opnieuw mensen op de maan. Voor deze mens, maar ook voor de thuisblijvers, is deze rijk geïllustreerde maangids bedoeld. Het boek bevat de laatste wetenschappelijke inzichten en beschrijft de maancultuur (die vooral op Aarde te vinden is). Zo lezen we over het ontstaan van de maan, over maangesteenten en de zoektocht naar maanleven, maar ook over de culturele betekenis van de maan in onder meer de religie, de psychologie, in sciencefiction en in films. Een veelzijdige en rijk geïllustreerde gids voor maanreizigers en thuisblijvers Peter Barthel is hoogleraar astrofysica aan het Kapteyn Instituut van de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. Sterrenstelsels met actieve kernen vormen het hoofdthema van zijn onderzoek. Daarnaast heeft hij grote affiniteit met wetenschapscommunicatie en was hij vele jaren rector van de Scholierenacademie van de universiteit. Klaas van Berkel is als Rudolf Agricola hoogleraar geschiedenis verbonden aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. Hij is werkzaam op het terrein van de wetenschaps- en cultuurgeschiedenis. Tot zijn recente publicaties behoort een driedelige geschiedenis van de Groningse universiteit van 1614 tot heden (2014-2022).
