Produktbeschreibung
Across centuries of wonder and revolution, the story of our planetary systems unfolds. From the first musings of Thales in ancient Greece to the groundbreaking discoveries of Kepler, J. L. E. Dreyer's masterwork traces how humanity's understanding of the cosmos was forged through observation, debate, and bold leaps of imagination. This is a journey through the heart of scientific revolutions-where celestial mechanics emerged from myth, and the history of astronomy became a living chronicle of our search for meaning in the stars. History Of The Planetary Systems From Thales To Kepler stands as an essential reference for academic readers, science historians, and anyone captivated by the evolution of ancient to renaissance science. Dreyer's lucid narrative brings to life the thinkers whose insights shaped planetary systems history, illuminating the connections between ancient Greek astronomy and the early modern breakthroughs that changed our world. Kepler and his predecessors are not distant names here, but vivid minds in dialogue across time. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For those drawn to the grand arc of scientific discovery, this historical astronomy book is more than a chronicle; it is a cultural treasure, restored for a new generation.
