Invitation to Astronomy #Akiko Izumo Nature #Earth Science/Astronomy #Ethnic History #Astronomical Calendar #Astronomy Mythology Printed March 20, 2012 Published April 9, 2012 Rather than an astronomy book, it's more accurate to call it ethnic history, and it's a book that planetarium explainers can immediately use at work. Astronomical practices, astronomical calendars, and astronomical myths are also written concisely and are easy to read.
