Produktbeschreibung
It is the first book to provide systematic, rigorous introductions to the work of the five great astronomers who replaced the geocentric model of the planetary system with a heliocentric one. It also offers novel analyses on many points of detail---for example, the astrological interests and practices of Regiomontanus, Kepler, and Galileo. Technical expositions are accompanied by a very large number of diagrams of high quality, made by the author, Noel Swerdlow. The section on Tycho Brahe was left incomplete at Swerdlow's death.
