About this title

Synopsis

An award-winning professor takes readers on a guided tour of the stunning celestial discoveries of past cultures. Interweaving the astronomy, mythology, and anthropology of ancient peoples, Aveni shows how to discover the harmony between their beliefs and their study of the sky through naked-eye observations.

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.
