Reviews

'A beautiful new book. There are endless, brilliant unforgettable stories in The Sky Atlas. So poetic... full of maps and illustrations.' -- Cerys Matthews * BBC Radio 6 Music *
'An incredible collection of cosmic maps, paintings and artefacts charting how we have imagined the heavens throughout history.'* Big Issue *
'This exquisitely illustrated book features a millennia-spanning narrative that encompasses ancient mythology, philosophical cosmology and post-Copernican advancements in astronomy. Maps of earlier centuries are abuzz with fantastical creatures, the sun has a literal face, and the cosmic borderlands are rich with design flourishes. The book is a joy to flip through, every page a visual testament to cartographic artistry.'* Wall Street Journal *
