Reviews

'Astrology, Science and Culture is a pioneering work that brings a postmodern perspective to this ancient subject...I highly recommend this thought provoking work for anyone trying to find a new approach to conceiving of anomalous phenomena.' Journal of Scientific Exploration 'When the definitive history of astrology in the late modern age is finally written, 'Astrology, Science and Culture' will no doubt be quoted as an important source text' Aries 'A stimulating contribution to a methodological reflection on astrology's place in history... recommended to everyone interested in astrology - in both camps.' Kocku von Stuckrad, University of Amsterdam 'I found myself won over on many of the skillfully elaborated points and paradigm-challenging insights.' Jane Riddler-Patrick, The Scientific and Medical Network
