520 8  "Follow an epic animal race, a quest for a disembodied 
       hand, and an emu egg hunt in constellation stories from 
       diverse cultures. We can see love, betrayal, and 
       friendship in the heavens, if we know where to look. A 
       world expert on cultural understandings of cosmology, 
       Anthony Aveni provides an unconventional atlas of the 
       night sky, introducing readers to tales beloved for 
       generations. The constellations included are not your 
       typical Greek and Roman myths, but star patterns conceived
       by a host of cultures, non-Western and indigenous, ancient
       and contemporary. The sky has long served as a template 
       for telling stories about the meaning of life. People have
       looked for likenesses between the domains of heaven and 
       earth to help marry the unfamiliar above to the quotidian 
       below. Perfect reading for all sky watchers and 
       storytellers, this book is an essential complement to 
       Western mythologies, showing how the confluence of the 
       natural world and culture of heavenly observers can 
       produce a variety of tales about the shapes in the sky"--
