Work of the Gods - Review Print E-mail
Book Review - Dominion Post, 3.7.04, Beth Williams
In "Work of the Gods" (Viking Sevenseas, pb $19.95), Carter Observatory astronomers Kay Leather and Richard Hall retell the most significant traditional stories from the era when stars were Maori's only calendar, and demonstrate how the legends helped fix star lore into a transmittable body of knowledge. The book's beautiful illustrations deserve their own exhibition.
