Reader's note

A 1963 edition of The Fabric of the Heavens by Stephen Toulmin & June Goodfield. Stars, planets, meteors, thunderbolts, earthquakes, hailstorms, and plagues of locusts - all these phenomena which we so carefully distinguish and classify must have seemed to primitive man to be tokens of a largely hostile Nature. Why should he have thought otherwise? For between him and us lie millennia of accumulating knowledge. Spanning these millennia - and spanning too the notorious gulf between science and the humanities - the authors show how soothsayers, philosophers, and mathematicians have all contributed to man's evolving view of the universe.
