STARSEEKERS by Colin Wilson Garden City, New York: Doubleday Company, 1980. Copiously illustrated in black-and-white and in brilliant color. Wilson chronicles man's discovery of the universe from Stonehenge and the pyramids through the neolithic period and into the 20th century and Einstein's theory of relativity. Drawing from many branches of knowledge for an original vision of this intellectual quest, Wilson's direct and challenging history of cosmology embraces religion, philosophy, science and mathematics; and its focus on the lives of the seminal thinkers captures the adventure and romance of the struggle to unlock the riddle of the Cosmos. This fascinating history is divided into three parts: Ancient Cosmology, The Era of Discovery, and The Exploding Universe. An unusual focus on outer space history that is entertaining and as well as filled with informative details.
