Star-crossed review

I understand that astrology is not high on The Times Higher 's list of concerns, but it is unfortunate that space was given to a book on the subject (Books, August 19) when its author and reviewer know almost nothing about astrology and are allowed to trade on their eminence in a different field - astronomy. Readers would be better off trying Roy Willis's and my Astrology, Science and Culture (Berg, 2004).
