Uncommon Sense: Understanding Nature's Truths Across Time and Culture
Anthony Aveni
All societies seek to understand the natural world, but their search is shaped by culturally distinct views and experiences. This work explores the common and conflicting ways that ancient and contemporary societies have searched for the literal truth about the natural world's mysteries, from dinosaur bones to the Star of Bethlehem.
