Episodes from the Early History of Astronomy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780387951362)

Phenomena in the heavens are still of great importance to many, and much of the lore of astronomy and astrology dates back to the earliest days of civilization (there are more astrologers than astronomers). The astronomy of the ancients is thus of interest not only as history but also as the basis for much of what is known or believed about the heavens today. This book discusses important topics in Babylonian and Greek atronomy.
