Book Synopsis Secrets of the Vaulted Sky by : David Berlinski
Download or read book Secrets of the Vaulted Sky written by David Berlinski. This book was released on 2009-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The astrologer is a figure almost as old as history itself, and his science expresses the human desire to pierce the veil of the future. Whispering into the ears of kings, working from seedy waterfront offices, or keeping themselves in seclusion, astrologers saw in the stars a universal system, knowledge without limit. Their theory remained a fixture of thought until astrology seemed to disappear, as Isaac Newton demonstrated the power of an authentic scientific system. But its doctrine has not vanished, and turns up in many aspects of modern science. In this respect, astrology can¿t die because the desire to see into the future is an immortal human longing. This superb book traces the birth, life, and continuing power of astrology in our world. Illus.
