Drawing from her widely celebrated book, The Human Cosmos, science writer Jo Marchant explores how our intimate relationship with the stars throughout history has shaped our religious beliefs, power structures, scientific advances, art, and even our biology. Marchant tells the epic story of humanity’s long relationship with the heavens—from cave paintings and stone circles to smartphones and space travel—and reveals the crucial role our changing view of the cosmos has played in making us who we are today. She encourages us to rediscover the universe we inhabit and experience the awe-inspiring power of the stars.
