The practice has both inspired reverence and worship, and deepened our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. While modern-day horoscopes may be the most familiar form of astrological knowledge, their lineage reaches back to ancient Mesopotamia. As author Andrea Richards recounts in Astrology, the second volume in Taschen's Library of Esoterica ... |

A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ... Throughout his career, Charles Dickens often turned his hand to fashioning short pieces of ghostly fiction, and began the tradition of "the ghost story at Christmas". Many of his supernatural tales are presented here, including the brilliant novella "The Haunted man and the ghost's bargain", which deserves to be as well known as "A Christmas carol". While all aim to send a shiver down the spine, they are not without the usual traits of Dickens' flamboyant style: his subtle wit, biting irony, humorous incidents and moral observations.
