Description
Dark Sky Legacy explores the influence of cosmology on the development of culture. In particular, Dr. Reed examines our enduring fascination with the night sky and the historical tendency to project human experience against a cosmic framework in an attempt to discover signs of human destiny. Achievement in science, argues Dr. Reed, has been won in proportion to the extent that star-gazers have abandoned the notion that they have a particular place in some cosmic plan.
