About This Item
Ithaca, New York: Cornell University Press, 1973. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Brown hardcover with title in silver letters on spine, in a very good dust jacket now in a mylar cover. 531pp including index. Illustrated with mathamatical line drawings. In these three studies-Copernicus, Kepler, Borelli- which are brought together in this volume, it is not my intention to review the history of astronomy in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries from Corperius to Newton, but only the history of the 'astronomical revolution', that is to say, the history of the evolution and transformation the key-concepts by means of which endeavors to reduce to order, of to save, phenomena-by clearly setting forth the facts that underlie and explain the chaos of sentient appearances.
