| Description | XXVII, 360 p. 82 illus., 78 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book tells the comprehensive history of cosmography from the 15th Century Age of Discovery onward. During this time, cosmography???a science that combined geography and astronomy to inform us about our place in the universe???was deeply tied to ongoing developments in politics, exploration, culture, and technology. The book offers in-depth historical context over nearly four centuries, focusing in particular on the often neglected role that Portugal and Spain played in the development of cosmography. It details the great activity emerging from the Iberian and Italic peninsulas, including numerous voyagers of exploration, a clear commercial intention, and advancements in map-making techniques. In doing so, it provides a unique perspective on the ???Longitude problem??? not available in most other literature on the topic. Rigorously researched and sweeping in scope, this book will serve as an invaluable source for historians and readers interested in the history of science, of astronomy, and of exploration from a southern European perspective |

| Author(s) | Osterhage, Wolfgang W |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | IX, 156 p. 30 illus., 15 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This new scientific biography of Galileo explores the influences on, and of, his exceptional work, thereby revealing novel connections with the worldviews of his age and beyond. Galileo Galilei's contribution to science is unquestionable. And his conflict with the church establishment of his time is no less famous. In this book, authored by a physicist and history scholar, Galileo's life and work are described against a backdrop of the prior scientific state of the art in his various fields of achievement. Particular emphasis is placed on Galileo's vision of the world in relation to historic and also future cosmological models. The impact of his discoveries and theories for the later development of physics and astronomy is a further focus of the narrative |
