Astrology and statistics together?! Who knew this would be a match made in the heavens!? This book is a history of astrology and also surprisingly informative about the history of data collection and interpretation. It is the story of astrology's journey from science to pseudoscience.

An interesting take on a unique subject that I didn't know very much about. Will be recommending this one to both my STEM and my humanities friends alike!

A wonderful entry into the history of science. Compelling writing and claims duly backed up with data make this an academic joy to read. Definitely written for the layperson rather than a statistician or astronomer - luckily for this reader! I could see this book being used as an exemplar for Statistics 101 courses to make data analysis relatable and enjoyable.
