Astronomy Across Cultures: A History of Non-Western Astronomy
consists of essays dealing with the astronomical knowledge and
beliefs of cultures outside the United States and Europe. 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.
