The Great Canoes in the Sky: Starlore and Astronomy of the South Pacific
天空中的独木舟：南太平洋的星际传说和天文学
Stephen Robert Chadwick, Martin Paviour-Smith (auth.)
斯蒂芬·罗伯特·查德威克（Martin Paviour-Smith）（作者）
Presenting spectacular photographs of astronomical objects of the southern sky, all taken by author Stephen Chadwick, this book explores what peoples of the South Pacific see when they look up at the heavens and what they have done with this knowledge. From wives killing brothers to emus rising out of the desert and great canoes in the sky, this book offers the perfect blend of science, tradition and mythology to bring to life the most famous sights in the heavens above the southern hemisphere. The authors place this starlore in the context of contemporary understandings of astronomy. The night sky of southern societies is as rich in culture as it is in stars. Stories, myths and legends based on constellations, heavenly bodies and other night sky phenomena have played a fundamental role in shaping the culture of pre-modern civilizations throughout the world. Such starlore continues to influence societies throughout the Pacific to this day, with cultures throughout the region – from Australia and New Zealand in the south to New Guinea and Micronesia in the north - using traditional cosmology as a means of interpreting various aspects of everyday life.
这本书展示了作者斯蒂芬·查德威克（Stephen Chadwick）拍摄的，壮观的南方天空天文物体照片，探讨了南太平洋各国人民仰望天空时所看到的景象以及利用这些知识所做的事情。从杀害妻子的妻子到从沙漠中崛起的天us和天空中的独木舟，这本书完美地融合了科学，传统和神话，使南半球以上天堂的最著名景点栩栩如生。作者将此星空置于当代对天文学的理解中。南方社会的夜空与星星一样丰富的文化。基于星座的故事，神话传说 天体和其他夜空现象在塑造全世界前现代文明的文化中发挥了根本作用。如今，这种星光继续影响着整个太平洋地区的社会，其文化遍及整个地区，从南部的澳大利亚和新西兰到北部的新几内亚和密克罗尼西亚，都使用传统的宇宙学作为解释日常生活各个方面的手段。
