Book Description

January 29, 1993 0521301319 978-0521301312
This translation of Johannes Kepler's "New Astronomy", written in 1609, sweeps aside the deductive geometrical approach to astronomy used since ancient times; rejects the uniform circular motions previously used; and attempts to use accurate observations and physical theory.
