"The Sun: Symbol of Power and Life" is a stunning visual journey through humanity's oldest obsession. Compiled by Singh, Indian diplomat, artist, and UNESCO figure, this heavy book brings together over 550 color illustrations and essays by 24 scholars from around the world. From petroglyphs to paintings, from Chinese bronze mirrors to Indian stone temples, from flame-haloed Buddhas in Japan to carved sun stones in Mexico, the book explores how every known civilization has looked to the sun as the source of truth, fertility, wisdom, and renewal. Since the dawn of time, the sun has been more than a star. It has been a god, a healer, a symbol of justice, and the one energy source that links all life on Earth. This book a rare meeting point of art history, mythology, and anthropology.
