A history of the sky

Humanity has always looked above itself, trying to make sense of the infinite that their eyes reflected back to them.
This richly illustrated book tells us the story of Astronomy through the ages and continents. A fascinating journey between science and beliefs, between empirical observations and extrapolations.
A complete, accessible and beautiful work, as much an introduction as a deepening, it will interest anyone who has never looked at the heavens and wondered what is hidden there and how to reach them.
