The Human Cosmos - Jo Marchant, Canongate Books Ltd
For most of human history, we have had a close relationship with the stars. But over the last few centuries we have separated ourselves from the universe that surrounds us. Once they shaped our religious beliefs, power structures, scientific advances and even our biology.
The Human Cosmos is a tour of this history: from the Hall of the Bulls in Lascaux to Tahitian sailors navigating by the stars; from medieval monks grappling with the nature of time to Einstein realising that space and time are the same. And it comes at a cost. It shows we need to rediscover the universe we inhabit, its effect on our health, and its potential for inspiration and revelation.
