From the Hall of the Bulls in Lascaux to witness the winter solstice at an ancient tomb at Newgrange, to a visit with Medieval monks grappling with the nature of time, and native Tahitian sailors navigating by the stars, it’s a re-examination of the potential of the universe we inhabit, its wonder, and its effect on our health. Marchant guides readers on a tour through the history of humanity’s relationship with the heavens and the costs of our separation from its influence. Over the last few centuries we seem to have distanced ourselves from the universe that surrounds us and that’s the topic she focuses on here. Marchant’s book delves into our centuries-old relationship with the stars that shaped our personalities, religious beliefs, power structures, scientific advances, and even our biology. Prepare for a cosmic view of our place in universal history with this enlightening volume where celestial cycles permeate our Earthly lives.
