Cosmic secrets in children's classics. This book tells for the first time how Ice Age peoples accurately predicted solstices and eclipses and how these secrets were hidden in stories and myths. Today, solstices and eclipses can be found in the answers to these questions: Who is Mother Goose?; Why are there seven dwarfs?; Why do witches ride on brooms?; Why does Santa slide down chimneys?; What is the meaning of Cinderella's shoe?; Why does Little Red Riding Hood wear red?; Why do children bob for apples at Halloween? and more.

INSIDE: Beauty and the Beast, Jack and the Beanstalk, Tam Lin, Thomas the Rhymer, and five fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen.

Astronomy Across Cultures: A History of Non-Western Astronomy consists of essays dealing with the astronomical knowledge and beliefs of cultures outside the United States and Europe. In addition to articles surveying Islamic, Chinese, Native American, Aboriginal Australian, Polynesian, Egyptian and Tibetan astronomy, among others, the book includes essays on Sky Tales and Why We Tell Them and Astronomy and Prehistory, and Astronomy and Astrology. The essays address the connections between science and culture and relate astronomical practices to the cultures which produced them. Each essay is well illustrated and contains an extensive bibliography. Because the geographic range is global, the book fills a gap in both the history of science and in cultural studies. It should find a place on the bookshelves of advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and scholars, as well as in libraries serving those groups.
