The Historical & Cultural Astronomy series includes high-level monographs and
edited volumes covering a broad range of subjects in the history of astronomy,
including interdisciplinary contributions from historians, sociologists, horologists,
archaeologists, and other humanities fields. The authors are distinguished specialists
in their fields of expertise. Each title is carefully supervised and aims to provide an
in-depth understanding by offering detailed research. Rather than focusing on the
scientific findings alone, these volumes explain the context of astronomical and
space science progress from the pre-modern world to the future. The interdisciplinary Historical & Cultural Astronomy series offers a home for books addressing
astronomical progress from a humanities perspective, encompassing the influence of
religion, politics, social movements, and more on the growth of astronomical
knowledge over the centuries.
The Historical & Cultural Astronomy Series Editors are: Wayne Orchiston,
Marc Rothenberg, and Cliff Cunningham.
