摘要

这部作品在两个重要方面与大多数现有的占星术参考作品不同。首先,正如标题所示,重点是历史,追溯占星术从古代到现在以及各种文化中的重大发展。其次,这部作品从一个既不怀疑也不道歉的角度来处理占星术。这项工作对持批评态度的人和热情的追随者来说都很有趣。这部作品是对人类试图在我们在天空中观察到的天体中寻找意义的探索。

Book Review: Astrology Through History: Interpreting the Stars from Ancient Mesopotamia to the Present
This work differs from most existing reference works about astrology in two significant ways. First, as the title suggests, the focus is historical, tracing significant developments in astrology from ancient times to present and in a variety of cultures. Second, this work approaches astrology from a standpoint that is neither skeptical nor apologetic. The work would be as interesting to the critical skeptic as to the enthusiastic adherent. This work is an exploration of human attempts to find meaning in the heavenly bodies we observe in the sky.
