The Human Cosmos: Civilization And The Stars

"The gravity that the Earth exerts on humanity is obvious. But in The Human Cosmos: Civilization and the Stars, Jo Marchant compellingly argues that the stars have always pulled at us just as strongly. With whirlwind curiosity and gripping storytelling, Marchant takes us on a trip through time and space, pointing out how our perceptions of the heavens have informed every step of our evolution as a civilization. Dazzling and profound, The Human Cosmos is a skyward gaze at the void we can never stop trying to fathom."
