Informació de l'obraA Brief History of Ancient Astrology de Roger Beck
   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This book probes both the history, the positive attributes and restraints of ancient astrology, and hints at why it was inevitable that astrology would shed its wishy-washy, fatalistic nature and resurface as a modern psychological tool for self-understanding. However the amount of ancient astro-lingo got in my way of enjoying this as an introductory book, so I'm giving this book 3.5/5 stars. (  ) georgeybataille | Jun 1, 2021 |  I can see why some people who are extremely interested in ancient astrology would find this book wonderful. However, I only wanted a brief run down and I thought (based on the title of this book) that a brief history would be a brief history. Unfortunately I found myself getting bogged down in astrological mumbo jumbo.I gave up around a third of the way through. While the topic sounds interesting to me, this book was not what I was after.
