9780870816734: Conversing With the Planets: How Science and Myth Invented the Cosmos

Synopsis

Revised and updated, Conversing With The Planets interweaves astronomy, mythology, and anthropology to explore what the universe means to us and what it meant to our ancestors. Aveni also deftly illustrates the influence of our culture and beliefs on the path of scientific discovery, tracing the rise and fall of astronomy as blown by the prevailing winds of religious, philosophical, and political change.

About the Author

The Russell Colgate Professor of Astronomy and Anthropology at Colgate University, Anthony Aveni pioneered the study of astronomical anthropology and archaeoastronomy. The Council for the Advancement and Support of Education selected him as 1982 Professor the Year; in 1991, Rolling Stone named him one of America’s top ten college professors. He is the author of Empires of Time, Behind the Crystal Ball, and Uncommon Sense: Understanding Nature's Truths Across Time and Culture, and several other books, as well as co-editor (with Gabrielle Vail) of The Madrid Codex.
