The Sleepwalkers — a history of man’s changing vision of the universe

← Resources Library  |  Books & reference works

Koestler’s history of cosmology from the Ionian philosophers to Kepler, and of the human, political and psychological struggle behind the ideas. It is rich material for the cultural and historical layer of an astrotourism narrative: it explains why people believed what they believed, which is often a more engaging story for a general audience than the correct answer alone. By Arthur Koestler.
