History of the Plurality of Worlds The Myths of Extraterrestrials Through the Ages

“I found this an engaging book, with a much wider scope than suggested by its title. The writing is lively and humorous, welcome when approaching some of the metaphysical and theological passages. The supporting apparatus, footnotes, two bibliographies, and index are thorough, and the production is good … . I am happy to recommend it, not just for specialists.” (Peredur Williams, The Observatory, Vol. 141 (1280), February, 2021)



“The book is well written, solidly produced, and infused with numerous color … . All things considered, this book is a good contribution to the literature and a fitting historical capstone to a stellar astronomical career.” (Steven J. Dick Ashburn, Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage, Vol. 23 (2), 2020)
