A Daily Telegraph book of the year.

This is a landmark in science writing that resurrects from the vaults of neglect the polymath Jerome Cardano, a Milanese of the sixteenth century.

Who is he? A gambler and blasphemer, inventor and chancer, plagued by demons and anxieties, astrologer to kings, emperors, and popes, and the unacknowledged discoverer of the mathematical foundations of quantum physics.

The Quantum Astrologer's Handbook, like Jerome, has multiple occupations: it is at once a biography, a history of science, an explanation of quantum theory, and an engrossing story which reads like the best kind of novel. It is a science book like no other about a scientist like no other.

Vedic Astrology, also called Jyotish, is the traditional astrology of India and its profound spiritual culture. It possesses a precise predictive value as well as a deep interpretation of the movement of life, unfolding the secrets of karma and destiny. Astrology of the Seers, first published in 1990, is regarded as one of the classic modern books on Vedic astrology, covering all the main aspects of its philosophy, background and practice. The present edition has been thoroughly revised and updated.

In Your Love Stars, Jane Struthers unlocks the secrets to improving your relationships - from romantic to family, friendships to work, and even with your pets - with the help of astrology. Jane explains that understanding your astrological birth chart, which is a snapshot of the heavens at the moment of your birth, will give insight into your own unique way of giving and receiving love. The book focuses on the zodiac signs occupied by the planets Venus and Mars when you were born, as they have the biggest influence on love and relationships. You don't have to be an expert astrologer to use Your Love Stars as Jane will guide you every step of the way. You can identify your own Venus and Mars signs with the help of a series of easy-to-follow tables and then you're ready to discover how you respond to relationships. Your Love Stars will take you on a fascinating journey as you learn whether you're best suited to close and intense relationships, easy-going and freedom-loving connections, or something in between. The deeper you dive into your birth chart, the more you'll understand how you relate to others, and you'll be on your way to deeper, more fulfilling relationships in no time.

Despite a resurgence in popularity, horoscopes are generally considered to be pseudoscience today - but they were once a cutting-edge scientific tool. In this ingenious work of history, data scientist Alexander Boxer examines a treasure trove of esoteric classical sources to expose the deep imaginative framework by which - for millennia - we made sense of our fates. Astrology, he argues, was the ancient world's most ambitious applied mathematics problem, a grand data-analysis enterprise sustained by some of history's most brilliant minds, from Ptolemy to al-Kindi to Kepler. A Scheme of Heaven explores the wonderful subtleties of astrological ideas. Telling the stories of their inventors and most influential exponents, Boxer puts them through their paces using modern data sets - finding that the methods of today's scientists are often uncomfortably close to those of astrology's ancient sages.
