Issues of cosmology, astrophys ics, and cosmogony are treated lucidly and richly illustrated with hundreds of colored pictures and diagrams. Impor tant unsolved scientific problems are explored, as well as questions such as the existence of extraterrestrial life. Completely up-to-date scientifically, this book tells a story of immense scope. Highly recommended for lay people and a beautiful addition to pub lic libraries.

TitleTo explain the world: The Discovery of Modern Science
Author(s)Steven Weinberg
PublicationNew York, Harper Collins Publishing, 2015.
Descriptionxiv, 416p.
Abstract NoteIn this rich, irreverent, compelling history, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg takes us from ancient Miletus to medieval Baghdad and Oxford, from Plato's Academy and the Museum of Alexandria to the cathedral school of Chartres and the Royal Society of London. He shows that the scientists of ancient and medieval times not only did not understand what we now know about the world, they did not understand what there is to be understood, or how to learn it. Yet over the centuries, through the struggle to solve such mysteries as the curious apparent backward movement of the planets or the rise and fall of the tides, science eventually emerged as a modern discipline. Along the way, Weinberg examines historic clashes and collaborations between science and the competing spheres of religion, technology, poetry, mathematics, and philosophy. An illuminating exploration of how we have come to consider and analyze the world around us, To Explain the World is a sweeping, ambitious account of how difficult it was to discover the goals and methods of modern science, and the impact of this discovery on human understanding and development.

TitleEpisodes from the early history of astronomy
Author(s)Asger Aaboe
PublicationNew York, Springer, 2001.
Descriptionxv,172p.
Contents NoteIn this book, Asger Aaboe selects a few significant "episodes" from early astronomy and treats them in details, rather than attempting a general survey. However, first he gives a descriptive account of what one should see when one looks at the sky with the naked eye, unbiased by received knowledge, and with curiosity and wit. He then turns to the arithmetical astronomy of ancient Mesopotamia, where astronomy first became an exact science. Next are treated Greek geometrical devices accounting for planetary motion, culminating in Ptolemy's planetary models in his Almagest. Aaboe concludes with an elementary discussion of Kepler motion and shows that Ptolemy's models are excellent approximations to how planets in fact move relative to the earth.
