Product Description
The Guardian
'A lavish exposition of the extraordinary sophistication of skywatchers...Beautiful photographs, diagrams and illustrations complement Aveni's lucid and immediate prose'
Product Description
How many of us today can accurately identify the stars and constellations, the phases of the moon, or the hour and position of the sunrise? Few modern city-dwellers can, but for our forebears such knowledge was crucial. People and the Sky explores the history of mankindâs intimate relationship with the sky, and how the lives of our ancestors were cosmically grounded. This erudite and engaging book will be a fundamental resource for students and scholars as well as being gripping reading for a general audience.
