Dustwrapper now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Very good. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. When Newton famously said, 'I have stood on the shoulders of giants', two of the greatest of those giants were Johannes Kepler and Tycho Brahe. The tale of these extraordinary men, and the enormous contribution they made to our understanding of astronomy, is one of the strangest stories in scientific history. Neither man would have been a giant without the other: the work of either alone would almost certainly have remained no more than a historical curiosity. More remarkably still, each man only reached the right destination by following a path he thought was leading somewhere else entirely. While Kepler and Brahe muddled their way to discovery, the future of human knowledge hung in the balance. Set in one of the most turbulent and colourful eras in European history, when medieval gave way to modern, The Nobleman and his Housedog relates the stories of these two eccentric men: Kepler, the devout and poverty-stricken teacher, some of whose astronomical theories seem bizarre, even quite mad, to modern minds but whose mathematical abilities were second to none, and Brahe, the arrogant, extravagant aristocrat, who believed the Sun orbited the Earth, but possessed the best astronomical observations of the time. This highly original double biography describes the fateful meeting in Prague in 1600 which led to the two men's tumultuous alliance and the resulting leap forward in scientific understanding.
