Product Information

A bold vision of cosmology mapping how the pole star became associated with political power, religious rapture, and social hierarchies. From H.P. Lovecraft to Philip Pullman, popular culture is rife with the mystique of the North. Why does it command such fascination? How far into the past do its roots extend?

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
