In Unveiling the Hidden-Anticipating the Future: Divinatory
Practices Among Jews Between Qumran and the Modern Period, Josefina
Rodriguez-Arribas and Dorian Gieseler Greenbaum collect ten studies
based on primary sources ranging from Qumran to the modern period
and covering Europe and the Mediterranean basin. The studies show
Jews practising divination (astrology, bibliomancy, physiognomy,
dream requests, astral magic, etc.) and implementing the study and
practice of the prognostic arts in ways that allowed Jews to make
them "Jewish," by avoiding any conflict with Jewish law or
halakhah. These studies focus on the Jewish components of this
divination, providing specific firsthand details about the
practices and their practitioners within their cultural and
intellectual contexts-as well as their fears, wishes, and
anxieties-using ancient scrolls and medieval manuscripts in Hebrew,
Aramaic, and Judaeo-Arabic. Contributors are Michael D. Swartz,
Helen R. Jacobus, Alessia Bellusci, Blanca Villuendas Sabate,
Shraga Bar-On, Josefina Rodriguez-Arribas, Amos Geula, Dov
Schwartz, Joseph Ziegler, and Charles Burnett.

Astrology is the oldest of the occult sciences, and it has had an
unshakeable hold on the human mind for centuries. Universities,
such as Oxford and the Sorbonne, offer courses on it. In THE FATED
SKY Benson Bobrick gives us a fascinating history of the discipline
that Ralph Waldo Emerson called 'astronomy brought down to earth
and applied to the affairs of men.' Notable Greeks and Romans
fervently believed in astrology. St. Augustine condemned it, but
St. Thomas Aquinas thought astrology not incompatible with
Christian faith. Shakespeare accepted it, and when Edmund Halley
disparaged astrology, Isaac Newton said to him, 'I, sir, have
studied the subject, and you have not.' All the great Renaissance
astronomers believed in the influence of the stars and planets over
human affairs. In more recent times, Winston Churchill, Charles de
Gaulle and Ronald Reagan consulted astrologers. As Carl Jung
predicted, astrology is again a subject of serious study, and now
Benson Bobrick has written the first complete history of the
world's oldest subject.

Having a phrenological 'head reading' was one of the most
significant fads of the nineteenth century - a means for better
knowing oneself and a guide for self-improvement. Samuel Clemens
(Mark Twain) had a lifelong yet long overlooked interest in
phrenology, the pseudoscience claiming to correlate skull features
with specialized brain areas and higher mental traits. Twain's
books are laced with phrenological terms and concepts, and he
lampooned the head readers in Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. He
was influenced by Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, who also used his
humor to assail head readers and educate the public. Finger shows
that both humorists accepted certain features of phrenology, but
not their skull-based ideas. By examining a fascinating topic at
the intersection of literature and the history of neuroscience,
this engaging study will appeal to readers interested in
phrenology, science, medicine, American history, and the lives and
works of Twain and Holmes.
