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. 001482372 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001482372 650_0 $$aAstrology$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001482372 650_0 $$aAstrology$$xHistory$$y21st century. 001482372 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001482372 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001482372 7001_ $$aBurns, William. 001482372 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031404858$$z9783031404856$$w(OCoLC)1389339044 001482372 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tAstrology and Western society from the First World War to COVID-19$$z9783031404856$$w(OCoLC)1400937702 001482372 852__ $$bebk 001482372 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-40486-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001482372 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1482372$$pGLOBAL_SET 001482372 980__ $$aBIB 001482372 980__ $$aEBOOK 001482372 982__ $$aEbook 001482372 983__ $$aOnline 001482372 994__ $$a92$$bISE
