Boston: Gambit, 1969. Publisher's full blue cloth with gilt titled cover and spine. xxiii, 505 pp., illustrated. Clean and tight text with no markings. Few insignificant soil spots on spine. Book appears unread. "In this brilliant work of scientific and philosophical inquiry, the authors track myths to a common origin in early man's descriptions of cosmological activity, arguing that these remnants of ancient astronomy, suppressed by the Greeks and Romans and then forgotten, were really a form of preliterate science."--- "Contradicting many current notions about cultural evolution, this exploratory book investigates the origins of human knowledge in the archaic, preliterate world....The perceptions of the ancients, revealed and adumbrated here, carry a power and beauty that persuades the spirit as completely as the detailed evidence convinces the mind." Second printing. See photos.. Hard Cover. Fine.

Description:
David R Godine, 1992. Trade Paperback. A new copy. "A book wonderful to read and startling to contemplate....both the history of science and the reinterpretation of myths have been enriched immensely."--Washington Post A seminal work of scientific and philosophical exploration.
