"Today, there are more than twenty complete zodiacs in Washington, D.C., each one pointing to a mystery. David Ovason, who has studied these astrological devices for ten years, now reveals why they have been placed in such abundance in the center of our nation's capital and explains their interconnections.
His illustrated text tells the story of how Washington, from its foundation in 1791, was linked with the zodiac, with the meaning of certain stars, and with a hidden cosmological symbolism that he uncovers here for the first time." "The Secret Architecture of Our Nation's Capital is a book that raises questions and offers complex insights into the meanings behind the mysterious symbols in Washington."--BOOK JACKET.
