Unlike many of astronomy books in the Christian and secular marketplace, Signs & Seasons covers "Classical Astronomy," the traditional, historical approach to the subject, as had been practiced from ancient times through Colonial America. The Biblical basis for astronomy is emphasized, that the Sun, Moon and stars were created "for signs and seasons, days and years." (Genesis 1:14) Topics include the Phases of the Moon, the Constellations, and Why the Length of Daylight Changes with the Seasons. The target audience for Signs & Seasons is middle school to high school students, though it is believed that many adults would also enjoy and benefit from the book. The text is lavishly illustrated with drawings that make clear the appearances of the sky. Signs & Seasons includes extensive quotations from Scripture and also many classic authors of ancient, medieval and early modern times. Forty pages of Field Activities are included to give practical instruction.
