Synopsis

"More than a century after its first publication in English, J.L.E. Dreyer¿s classic work remains a helpful and readable introduction to historical astronomy. Beginning with mankind¿s first attempts to understand its place in the universe and continuing through the age of Isaac Newton, Dreyer rectifies errors and sets the historical record straight, connecting modern astronomers to those who laid the groundwork before them. A History of the Planetary Systems from Thales to Kepler covers: ¿ the earliest cosmological Ideas ¿ the Pythagorean school ¿ Plato and Aristotle ¿ the Ptolemaic system ¿ Oriental astronomers and the revival of astronomy in Europe ¿ Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, and Kepler ¿ and much more. Danish astronomer and a historian of astronomy JOHAN LUDWIG EMIL DREYER (1852¿1926) also wrote a history of the Royal Astronomical Society and a biography of astronomer Tyco Brahe."

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
