The companion volume, and the one that carries everything after the fifth century: its own description runs from the collapse of classical astrology to popular astrology in the twentieth century and its standing in the twenty-first. Volume I stops in the ancient and classical world, so a claim about the Renaissance, the Victorian press, the newspaper column or twentieth-century psychological astrology belongs here and not there. Listed by Bloomsbury Academic since Bloomsbury acquired Continuum in 2011; the 2009 printing is Continuum, and the ISBN is unchanged.
