Il cielo. Caos e armonia del mondo

Rate this book
Tuoni e fulmini, arcobaleni e aurore boreali. E poi stelle, costellazioni, meteoriti, comete... Dalla notte dei tempi, l'uomo interroga il cielo e i suoi segni, li investe di poteri soprannaturali, vi cerca spiegazioni del proprio passato e profezie per il futuro. Dall'astrologia all'astronomia, con i miti e le leggende, le certezze della fede e le ragioni della scienza, il cielo non ha mai smesso di rappresentare la memoria e lo specchio del mondo.

This is a fantastic little book If you're lucky enough to come across a copy. Full of eclectic and varied subjects relating to the sky above and peoples' perception of it through the ages, it is really well illustrated and makes great reading in short bursts.
