{"product_id":"astrology-in-time-and-place-nicholas-campion-9781443883818","title":"Astrology in Time and Place: Cross-Cultural Questions in the History of Astrology","description":"Astrology is the practice of relating the heavenly bodies to lives and events on earth, and the tradition that has thus been generated. Many cultures worldwide have practised it in some form. In some it is rudimentary, in others complex. Culture and scholarship have categorised it as both belief and science, as a form of magic, divination or religious practice â \" but in many ways it defies easy categorisation. The chapters in this volume make a significant contribution to our understanding of astrology across a range of periods of cultures. Based on papers presented at the annual conference of the Sophia Centre held in 2012, the contributions range from China and Japan, through India, the ancient Near East, the classical world and early modern Europe, to Madagascar and Mesoamerica. The different topics include ritual and religion, magic and science, calendars and time, and questions of textual transmission and methodology. \u003cp\u003eAstrology in Time and Place is essential reading for all interested in the history of humanityâ (TM)s relationship with the cosmos. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Campion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1443883816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781443883818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicholas Campion","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48748361777407,"sku":"9781443883818","price":90.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/astrology-in-time-and-place-nicholas-campion-9781443883818","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
