School Library Journal Review
Gr 10 Up-This book provides four intelligent arguments both for and against the validity of astrology. While the introduction and epilogue betray a slight bias against it, the epilogue-containing the steps of hypothetical reasoning and applying them to a couple of the articles-is a valuable lesson for students working on research papers. Each selection leads off with a summary of the argument provided and the credentials of the author. Three "pro" pieces date from the 1990s, and the fourth from 1975. Those against were published in 1999-2005. The volume provides food for thought on the subject and useful information and resources for the research papers, but isn't intended as a resource for learning the basics of astrology. Most articles are clear and interesting; a few are a bit dry. The one illustration, a picture of Galileo, does not add anything to the book. Overall, a good purchase.-Nancy Kunz, Tuckahoe Public Library, NY (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
