by Johannes Kepler (Author), William H. Donahue (Translator)
Johannes Kepler wrote Astronomia Nova (1609) in a single minded 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. This title includes Kepler's introduction as well as a selection of chapters that develop the physics of planetary motion.
