This book contained a lot of really impressive information and was evidently very well researched。 However， sometimes it felt like too much information， like when you are at a museum and just so overwhelmed with artifacts that nothing truly grabs your attention and you aren't processing any information。 Additionally， the connections between the facts were often let out。 There would be jumps in information， leaving the reader behind。 This book contained a lot of really impressive information and was evidently very well researched。 However， sometimes it felt like too much information， like when you are at a museum and just so overwhelmed with artifacts that nothing truly grabs your attention and you aren't processing any information。 Additionally， the connections between the facts were often let out。 There would be jumps in information， leaving the reader behind。 。。。more

This was a fantastic introduction to astrology and how humans have interacted with the stars since the Hunter-gatherers。 Written simply enough that a novice could follow， this was incredibly interesting and full of so many familiar names heard throughout history。
