      abstract = {This book gathers contributions on the topic of astrology  in the West during the twentieth and twenty-first  centuries, from 19142022. It is the first collection  exclusively devoted to a period that has been mostly  neglected by historians of astrology, who have mostly  devoted themselves to the ancient, medieval and early  modern periods. Uninterested in vindicating or debunking  astrology, contributors consider its cultural impact, its  relation to historical events, and the ways in which it has  changed in the last century. The broad range of subjects on  modern Europe and the US include the relation of astrology  with indigenous thought, interwar Polish astrology, and the  relation of American astrologers to COVID. A bibliography  of studies of modern astrology on a global basis is also  included. This collection is a thoughtful contribution to  the history of astrology and the sociology of belief as  well as carrying significant implications for twentieth and  twenty-first century history broadly. William Burns is a  historian who lives in the Washington DC area. His  interests include the history of science and the history of  early modern and modern astrology. He has edited Astrology  through History (2018), a reference book on the history of  astrology and published articles on seventeenth-century  astrology.},
