5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book, Great Author!, November 14, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: When Stars Came Down to Earth: Cosmology of the Skidi Pawnee Indians of North America (Ballena Press Anthropological Papers) (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book! I know the author. He was my teacher in Astronomy and a great author! This is a very good book to read, especially if you have interests in the stars or any other aspect of Astronomy. Von Del is a great teacher in his classes as well as in his books! This book is a must have for people building their astronomy/cosmology libraries!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Mind blowing cosmology, November 14, 2004
This review is from: When Stars Came Down to Earth: Cosmology of the Skidi Pawnee Indians of North America (Ballena Press Anthropological Papers) (Paperback)
I used this book for a paper in college. I was in a class about North American Indians. The book is an excellent recounting of the Skidi Pawnee thoughts and practices about their cosmology, their view of the world and its creation. The strories are very intricate and fun to read! Writing is a little dry. Enjoy!
