      abstract = {In this book, Boston University Professor of Astronomy  Michael Mendillo takes readers deep into the annals of  history, showing how visual depictions of the heavens  evolved in tandem with science and religion throughout much  of Western culture. With unprecedented scope and scale,  Professor Mendillo explores how cave art, illuminated  manuscripts, sculptures, paintings and architecture  reflected some of the great religious and secular battles  taking place over the course of centuries. Enter a world of  biblical proportions, where constellations of ancient  heroes and pagans were thoroughly recast as Christian  saints and the Twelve Apostles. This nontechnical narrative  brings vitality and accessibility to some of the most  enduring subjects in human history, offering a lively new  exploration of the visual connections between celestial  phenomena and artistic expression.},
