I understand why Donahue feels the need to include large introductions and even paraphrases of obscure sections of the text. But replacing a proof by Kepler with an easier alternative - as Donahue does in Chapter 32 - is going too far. The only good use of this book is as a supplement to a full translation of the Astronomia Nova. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Ist eine Kurzfassung von
Johannes Kepler wrote Astronomia Nova (1609) in a singleminded drive to sweep away the ancient and medieval clutter of spheres and orbs and to establish a new truth in astronomy, based on physical causality. Thus a good part of the book is given over to a nontechnical discussion of how planets can be made to move through space by physical forces. This is the theme of the readings in the present module. The selection includes Kepler's Introduction as well as a selection of chapters that develop the physics of planetary motion. In these ground-breaking chapters, the true Kepler emerges, not as a speculative mystic or a number-crunching drudge, but as a first-rate scientific thinker with a wonderfully engaging narrative style.
