Items related to North – The Rise and Fall of the Polar Cosmos
Synopsis
In 1543, the ancient world began to unravel. The Polish astronomer Copernicus wrecked the old sense that the cosmos revolved around a stationary Earth, opening up the dizzying freedoms and dangers of the modern age. But was the cosmos that Copernicus unseated so ancient after all? This book argues that the importance of cosmic hierarchy, with Earth at the centre, only arose with agriculture and civilization.

Seller: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A bold vision of cosmology mapping how the pole star became associated with political power, religious rapture, and social hierarchies. From H.P. Lovecraft to Philip Pullman, popular culture is rife with the mystique of the North. Why does it command such fascination? How far into the past do its roots extend? Ranging from the Stone Age to the Space Age, North's bold vision of cosmology maps how the pole star became associated with political power, religious rapture, and social hierarchies. And when the Copernican Revolution unseated the idea of Earth as the centre of everything, shards of this polar cosmos fell down, seeding strange fantasies, haunting our modern world with remnants of celestial dreams.
