Yet almost every religion uses some form of astrology: some way of thinking about the sun, moon, stars, and planets and how they hold significance for human lives on earth. Astrology and Cosmology in the World?s Religions offers an accessible overview of the astrologies of the world's religions, placing them into context within theories of how the wider universe came into being and operates. Campion traces beliefs about the heavens among peoples ranging from ancient Egypt and China, to Australia and Polynesia, and India and the Islamic world. Addressing each religion in a separate chapter, Campion outlines how, by observing the celestial bodies, people have engaged with the divine, managed the future, and attempted to understand events here on earth. This fascinating text offers a unique way to delve into comparative religions and will also appeal to those intrigued by New Age topics. 606 $aAstrology 606 $aCosmology 606 $aReligions 606 $aReligion 615 0$aAstrology. 615 0$aCosmology. 615 0$aReligions. 615 0$aReligion. 676 $a202/.4 700 $aCampion$b Nicholas$01516807 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779185503321 996 $aAstrology and cosmology in the world's religions$93851202 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03414nam 22006375 450 001 9910366595003321 005 20251230061252.0 010 $a3-030-20037-X 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-20037-4 035 $a(CKB)4100000008340763 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5783567 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-20037-4 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000008340763 100 $a20190601d2020 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAdvances in Human Error, Reliability, Resilience, and Performance $eProceedings of the AHFE 2019 International Conference on Human Error, Reliability, Resilience, and Performance, July 24-28, 2019, Washington D.C., USA /$fedited by Ronald L.

It discusses topics such as human performance; human variability and reliability analysis; medical, driver and pilot error, as well as automation error; root cause analyses; and the cognitive modeling of human error. In addition, it highlights cutting-edge applications in safety management, defense, security, transportation, process controls, and medicine, as well as more traditional fields of application. Based on the AHFE 2019 International Conference on Human Error, Reliability, Resilience, and Performance, held on July 24-28, 2019, Washington D.C., USA, the book includes experimental papers, original reviews, and reports on case studies, as well as meta-analyses, technical guidelines, best practice and methodological papers. It offers a timely reference guide for researchers and practitioners dealing with human error in a diverse range of fields. 410 0$aAdvances in Intelligent Systems and Computing,$x2194-5365 ;$v956 606 $aSecurity systems 606 $aComputational intelligence 606 $aPsychology, Experimental 606 $aOperations research 606 $aUser interfaces (Computer systems) 606 $aHuman-computer interaction 606 $aSecurity Science and Technology 606 $aComputational Intelligence 606 $aExperimental Psychology 606 $aOperations Research and Decision Theory 606 $aUser Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction 615 0$aSecurity systems. 615 0$aComputational intelligence. 615 0$aPsychology, Experimental. 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aUser interfaces (Computer systems). 615 0$aHuman-computer interaction. 615 14$aSecurity Science and Technology. 615 24$aComputational Intelligence. 615 24$aExperimental Psychology. 615 24$aOperations Research and Decision Theory. 615 24$aUser Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction. 676 $a620.82 676 $a620.82 702 $aBoring$b Ronald L$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910366595003321 996 $aAdvances in Human Error, Reliability, Resilience, and Performance$91961480 997 $aUNINA
