This is a lovely book. ... It is thought-provoking, highly readable, and well referenced. It is a book all astronomers will enjoy, and it should make our visits to art galleries both more frequent, and more beneficial. (David W. Hughes, The Observatory, Vol. 142 (1290), October, 2022)

Author Information

Michael Mendillo is Professor of Astronomy at Boston University.  His science career deals with research in solar-terrestrial space physics, planetary science, and newly discovered planets orbiting stars in our galaxy.  Professor Mendillo has assembled one of the largest privately-held collections of antiquarian astronomical maps, charts and atlases.  They form the basis of the Celestial Images exhibitions held at many university art galleries, the Smithsonian Institution and the US National Academy of Science.  His teaching of astronomy to non-science majors stresses interdisciplinary topics and their connectivity (science-art-religion-society).
