Astrology | |||
| A History | Mind, Body & Spirit | |||
| Peter Whitfield | ||||
| British Library 2001 208 pages | ||||
| Hardback Illustrated 0712347186 290x210mm | ||||
| Published Price £25.00 | Our Price £11.99 | |||
| The belief system we know as astrology, based on the simple, yet profound idea that the destiny of mankind is somehow linked to the stars, originated in Babylon around 2,500 years ago. Whitfield's beautifully illustrated study charts the history of astrology, its intellectual roots, social setting and technical language, from ancient Babylonia, Greece and Rome to its near extinction by early Christianity; and from its re-emergence in the Middle Ages and triumph during the Renaissance, to a second defeat by the Enlightenment and its strange survival in the present day. | ||||

| Once they were called 'monsters' or 'freaks of nature' - people born with such severe deformities or extraordinary bodies that they were the subjects of marvel and ridicule. This book looks at how 17th and 18th century British society reacted to dog-faced boys, conjoined twins, giants, dwarves and other 'curiosities'. Written with a scientist's objectivity and a humanist's compassion, it celebrates the endurance of the human spirit and its triumph over often appalling handicaps. | ||||
