1.1 Sky Knowledge
A new naked-eye cosmology, establishing priorities which reflect the natural order of things
(such as the Sun being the active center of our local universe).
A unique book, an intelligent and surprising exploration of humankind’s
relationship to the sky and stars, which not only re-discovers the ancient basis of
astrology, but also stirs up many important aspects of humankind’s past and future.
Very full and thought-provoking.
