‘Combining myth and science, this breathtaking book [is] packed with stunning images&&&39; Daily Mail
After the enormous international success of The Phantom Atlas and The Golden Atlas, Edward Brooke-Hitching&&&39;s brilliant&&&160;book unveils some of the most beautiful maps and charts ever created during mankind&&&39;s quest to map the&&&160;skies above us.&&&160;
This richly illustrated treasury&&&160;showcases the finest examples of celestial cartography - a glorious genre of map-making often overlooked by modern map books - as well as medieval manuscripts, masterpiece paintings, ancient star catalogues, antique instruments and other appealing curiosities.
This is the sky as it has never been presented before: the realm of stars and planets, but also of gods, devils, weather wizards, flying sailors, medieval aliens, mythological animals and rampaging spirits. The reader is taken on a tour of star-obsessed cultures around the world, learning about Tibetan sky burials, star-covered Inuit dancing coats,&&&160;Mongolian astral prophets&&&160;and Sir William Herschel&&&39;s 1781 discovery of Uranus, the first planet to be found since antiquity.&&&160;Even stranger&&&160;are the&&&160;forgotten stories from European history, like the English belief of the Middle Ages&&&160;in&&&160;ships that sailed a sea above the clouds, 16th-century German UFO sightings and the Edwardian aristocrat who mistakenly mapped alien-made canals on the surface of Mars.
As the intricacies of our universe are today being revealed with unprecedented clarity, there has never been a better time for a highly readable book as beautiful as the night sky to contextualise the scale of these achievements for the general reader.
