Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The astronomical observations of William Herschel (1738–1822) made him question the accepted model of the clockwork universe. This volume explains the development of Herschel's thoughts on what he called 'the construction of the heavens' and reprints his principal papers on this subject. The preliminary chapters provide an introduction to Herschel, including his unusual path to astronomy, the discovery of Uranus and his work on the evolution of stellar clusters, which eventually led him to challenge the unchanging Newtonian universe. The second half of the text comprises eight of Herschel's key papers on what we today would call cosmology, representing his progress between 1783 and 1814, fully annotated with historical notes and modern astrophysical explanations. Ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students in the history of science and in astronomy, this volume explains Herschel's pivotal role in the transformation from the clockwork universe to the 'biological' universe of modern astronomy.

Download or read book The Cambridge Concise History of Astronomy written by Michael Hoskin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-03-18 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences, and one which has repeatedly led to fundamental changes in our view of the world. This book covers the history of our study of the cosmos from prehistory through to a survey of modern astronomy and astrophysics (sure to be of interest to future historians of twentieth-century astronomy). It does not attempt to cover everything, but deliberately concentrates on the important themes and topics. These include stellar astronomy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, at the time subordinate to the study of the solar system, but the source of many important concepts in modern astronomy, and the Copernican revolution, which led to the challenge of ancient authorities in many areas, not just astronomy. This is an essential text for students of the history of science and for students of astronomy who require a historical background to their studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stukeley Illustrated is the fantastic book compiled by 3rd Stone magazine editor, Neil Mortimer. The book brings together over 100 black and white engravings from one of the eighteenth century's most remarkable antiquarians, William Stukeley. Stukeley was the first man to study in detail the grand prehistoric sites of the Britain in his three brilliant books. These were Stonehenge: A Temple Restor'd to the British Druids, Abury: A Temple of the British Druids and Itinerarium Curiosum - a tour around the monuments of the UK covering everything from natural wonders to Medieval crosses. For the first time, many of Stukeley's detailed drawings, hitherto incredibly difficult to get hold of, are put together in an easy to use format. The book is divided into four main sections with an Introduction covering Stukeley's life and works, a chapter each on Stonehenge and Avebury, and finally a range illustrations from Itinerarium Curiosum covering sites such as Figsbury Rings, Glastonbury, Old Sarum, Kits Coty House, Stanton Drew, Boscawen-Un, Meini Gwyr, The Merry Maidens and The Devil's Arrows. Published by Green Magic, the book is a must for anyone interested in the prehistoric sites of Britain and well worth the price.
