5.0 out of 5 stars
Couldn't put it down
Beautifully written and well organized. This is a great read, not only about the history of astronomy but of science and the movement of mankind toward enlightened reasoning.

1.0 out of 5 stars
A status-quo history
I was disappointed greatly with the contents of the book. Hoskin and Gingerich peddle the old Eurocentric view of astronomy. Short shrift is given to the views of scholars such as R.R. Newton and Dennis Rawlins. The presentation of material is very shallow, and the tangled web behind the advances of Kepler and others is not presented. It is like whitewash.
