About the author
Tapan Das is the author of Why Astrology is Science: Five Good Reasons (iUniverse, 2009), a book arguing for astrology's legitimacy as a scientific discipline. According to the publisher's description, Das held master's and doctoral degrees in an electronics-related engineering field, which the book draws on in building its case. The text is framed as a response to widespread casual interest in sun-sign astrology, aiming to move past popular familiarity with the subject toward a structured argument for its validity. Catalogued under astrology, it is addressed to readers curious about the intersection of astrology and scientific method, particularly those looking for an argument made from outside the astrological community itself. With only this title in the catalogue, Das's contribution here is a single focused argument rather than a broader body of astrological writing.
