Why read it?
1 author picked The Human Cosmos as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book helped me understand the history of humans’ relationship to the sky, and how our connection to it has in a lot of ways decreased, while civilizational knowledge of what’s actually going on up there has increased. It provides both the means and the motivation for the people of the modern world to act a bit more like the people of the past.
From Sarah's list on making night sky your new BFF.
