Non Fiction Addiction Book Discussion, The Human Cosmos: Civilization and the Stars by Jo Marchant
Thursday, September 19, 2:00pm
Join us in the adult meeting room for a discussion of The Human Cosmos by Jo Marchant. "An historically unprecedented disconnect between humanity and the heavens has opened. Jo Marchant's book can begin to heal it. For at least 20,000 years, we have led not just an earthly existence but a cosmic one. Celestial cycles drove every aspect of our daily lives. Our innate relationship with the stars shaped who we are--our art, religious beliefs, social status, scientific advances, and even our biology. But over the last few centuries we have separated ourselves from the universe that surrounds us. It's a disconnect with a dire cost."
