In addition to articles surveying Islamic, Chinese, Native  American, Aboriginal Australian, Polynesian, Egyptian and Tibetan  astronomy, among others, the book includes essays on Sky Tales and Why  We Tell Them and Astronomy and Prehistory, and Astronomy and  Astrology. The essays address the connections between science and  culture and relate astronomical practices to the cultures which  produced them. Each essay is well illustrated and contains an  extensive bibliography. Because the geographic range is global, the  book fills a gap in both the history of science and in cultural  studies. It should find a place on the bookshelves of advanced  undergraduate students, graduate students, and scholars, as well as in  libraries serving those groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2000-10-31\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780792363637\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 665\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45417110601868,"sku":"9780792363637","price":341.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792363637.jpg?v=1768945991","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792363637","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
