Dark Land, Dark Skies by Martin Griffiths
Dark Land, Darks Skies subverts conventional astronomy by repopulating the night sky with myths from oral traditions which were overtaken by the classical naming of constellations and planets as astronomy developed in the sixteenth and seventeenth century. Astronomer Martin Griffiths includes star charts and other helpful materials for star-gazing.
