5.0 out of 5 stars Koyre was one of the greatest historian of science, October 6, 2008
This review is from: The Astronomical Revolution: Copernicus--Kepler--Borelli (Paperback)
and EVERY book of his is beautiful and insightful. This one is a classic on one of Koyre's main themes - the astronomical revolution. You can take every word for granted since the author's principle is work from the sources. Really great!
