For most of human history, we have had a close relationship with
the stars. Once they shaped our religious beliefs, power
structures, scientific advances and even our biology. But over the
last few centuries we have separated ourselves from the universe
that surrounds us. And it comes at a cost. The Human Cosmos is a
tour of this history: from the Hall of the Bulls in Lascaux to
Tahitian sailors navigating by the stars; from medieval monks
grappling with the nature of time to Einstein realising that space
and time are the same. It shows we need to rediscover the universe
we inhabit, its effect on our health, and its potential for
inspiration and revelation.
