(4) 4-6 Isaac Asimov's 21st Century Library of the Universe: Fact and Fantasy series. This revised edition explores how ancient observation of heavenly bodies inspired religious beliefs, influenced the naming of stars and constellations, and led to the creation of the zodiac. Sidebars with attention-grabbing headings ("The demon star--look only if you dare!") appear throughout. This choppy overview is illustrated with reproductions, photos, and other art. Directory, reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
