BERNADETTE BRADY: ASTROLOGY A Place in Chaos
pb 15.50

sure to provoke some interesting debate between astrologers

One of the most interesting ways to gain an understanding of how astrology works, is to
study the charts of famous people, or those who epitomise a certain type (e.g. twins or
suicides). Lois Roddens Astrodata books are the supreme reference works for
astrological research of this kind, and are extremely useful for teachers of astrology.
They contain hundreds of charts with brief descriptions of the owners credentials, and
are the first books of their kind to be graded with the sources and integrity of the data.
The first book in this series is Profiles of Women. The 1997 edition of this book is
completely revised and much expanded, now containing data and biographies of notable
women (500 with charts); from business to politics; from sport to entertainment. Includes
hundreds of previously unpublished data with thousands of dated events (416 pp).
Volume two, previously known as the American Book of Charts and now republished
with amendments and corrections) contains an international collection of famous and
infamous people, both male and female. This can be recommended as the best book for
those seeking a general collection of charts.
Volume three includes the charts of many astrologers and famous people, whilst Volume
four has lots of artists and musicians. Volume five, Profiles of Crime, is specifically
concerned with charts relating to criminals, and those who have been victims of crime.
