1.3 Ancient Skies

A fully illustrated book with fascinating new images and notions emerging from humankind’s earliest astronomy and astrology. A companion to Sky Knowledge, featuring four ancient constellation systems and one new one, showing both the star patterns and suggested pictorial forms manifest in naked-eye observation: the Babylonian Mulapin; the Indian nakshatras; the Chinese xiu; the Arabic Faithful stars; and the Galactic Line. This book also has some simplified material based on theories and systems discussed in Sky Knowledge. ~200 pages – AUD 35.00 – EARLY STAGES.

1.4 Business of the Species

What business do we have even being here? Survival has taken many forms throughout the history of our species, and most familiar today is the task of making money to support our lifestyles.

A natural progression from the paradigms offered in Sky Knowledge. ~200 pages – AUD 32.95 – EARLY STAGES.
