Publisher's Synopsis
As long as I watch the trajectory of the starry sky, my feet can leave the ground.-Ptolemy. For the first time someone described the sky like this: not only the realm of stars and planets, but also many rampages of Gods and ghosts, celestial magicians, flying sailors, medieval aliens, mythological creatures, and monsters. Brook Hitchin, author of the best-selling books Phantom Atlas and Golden Atlas, brings a visual history of traveling through the heavens.
