Description

From stone age to space age, every human who has looked up at the night sky has seen the same stars in the same patterns.

They reveal our entire history, as well as hinting at our ultimate fate.

In Beneath the Night, Stuart Clark tells the full story of this relationship.

From prehistoric cave art and Ancient Egyptian zodiacs to the modern era of satellites and space exploration, Clark reveals the history of a fascination that has shaped our scientific understanding; helped us navigate the terrestrial world; provided inspiration for our poets, artists and philosophers; and given us a place to project our hopes and fears.

This is the story of the universe, and our place within it.
