Book Synopsis Under Newton's Shadow, Astronomical Practices in the Seventeenth Century by : Lesley Murdin
Download or read book Under Newton's Shadow, Astronomical Practices in the Seventeenth Century written by Lesley Murdin. This book was released on 1985. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The influence of Newton and the Royal Society during the 17th century has always overshadowed the activities of other contemporary figures in astronomy. This book demonstrates the extent and significance of their particular contributions to observational astronomy, and to show how social, educational and economic factors affected their work. This survey of the characters and personal lives of British astronomers of the period - Edmond Halley, Robert Hooke, John Flamsteed and other less well known figures - will interest historians, astronomers, historians of science and astronomy, amateur astronomers, and the general reader.

Book Synopsis Compendium of Practical Astronomy by : Günter D. Roth
Download or read book Compendium of Practical Astronomy written by Günter D. Roth. This book was released on 2012-12-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a pleasure to present this work, which has been well received in German-speaking countries through four editions, to the English-speaking reader. We feel that this is a unique publication in that it contains valuable material that cannot easily-if at all-be found elsewhere. We are grateful to the authors for reading through the English version of the text, and for responding promptly (for the most part) to our queries. Several authors have supplied us, on their own initiative or at our suggestion, with revised and updated manuscripts and with supplementary English references. We have striven to achieve a translation of Handbuch for Sternfreunde which accurately presents the qualitative and quantitative scientific principles con tained within each chapter while maintaining the flavor of the original Ger man text. Where appropriate, we have inserted footnotes to clarify material which may have a different meaning and/or application in English-speaking countries from that in Germany. When the first English edition of this work, Astronomy: A Handbook (translated by the late A. Beer), appeared in 1975, it contained 21 chapters. This new edition is over twice the length and contains 28 authored chap ters in three volumes. At Springer's request, we have devised a new title, Compendium of Practical Astronomy, to more accurately reflect the broad spectrum of topics and the vast body of information contained within these pages.
