Astrology : A History

Rating:
Summary: A good introductory work.
Review: This work attempts to trace the key role of astrology in Western intellectual life, but Peter Whitfield does not incorporate all ancient, classical, medieval, and modern sources as well as Dr. Lester Ness' recent study. Like, "Written in the Stars", it does however show that Western astrology evolved in different cultures and adapted to differing belief systems.
