Big, bold and beautiful, this is the enthralling celestial follow-up to Mythologica: Amazon's No. 1 Children's Non-Fiction Book of the Year 2019.
How did the moon influence mighty emperors in Ancient China? Why are star signs so popular around the world? How did constellations help early seafarers sail safely across the vast Pacific? Blending science and storytelling, Astrologica introduces you to the marvels of our cosmos like you’ve never seen them before.
The planets, stars, Sun and Moon have always fascinated us. Thousands of years ago, we built awe-inspiring monuments to honour them, invented geometry to study their movements, and took inspiration from them for stories about animals, gods and life itself. Today we have an enduring connection through zodiacs and more, ever linking us to the cosmos. But why is this?
This gorgeously illustrated book is designed to introduce young stargazers to the celestial. You’ll uncover:
The Origins of Astrology
Myths Of the Tropical Zodiac
Myths Of the Solar System
Myths Of the Stars
Stargazing Around the World
Astrology and You
Across these chapters, you'll learn about the antics of Greek gods, indigenous traditions and scientific breakthroughs. You’ll delve into zodiac lore as you journey around the globe, from Mali to Hawaiʻi, Norway and Australia. You’ll also travel through time, visiting early civilisations and empires to learn about the dawn of storytelling itself – and that's just the start.
