Second edition, completely revised, of the only English translation of Kepler's 1609 masterpiece. A work of astonishing originality, Astronomia Nova stands, with Copernicus's De Revolutionibus and Newton's Principia as one of the founding texts of the scientific revolution. Kepler revolutionized astronomy by insisting that it be based upon physics rather than ideal geometrical models.

I have been looking for Kepler's Astronomia Nova for a couple of years, but was unable to find them in English (Donahue's first edition being exceedingly expensive). I tried to dive into Astronomia Nova as much as I could by reading Donahue's Selections, Stephenson's Kepler's Physical Astronomy and scans of the original 1609 edition available online (even though I don't read Latin!). So, it was with enormous anticipation that I opened the huge package from Amazon yesterday. I was overjoyed to see that the book lived up to my expectations! It is very faithful to the 1609 edition, stating with the size! It also features all of Kepler's margin annotations in place, large and readable diagrams that are repeated several times so that the reader doesn't have to flip pages when following an explanation, as in the original, and the original diagrams which have meaningful decorations are reproduced as well. So I feel that I can finally access the 1609 edition! Donahue has also added a nice introduction, exploring some historical context and giving a good primer that will help the reader understand Kepler's work.

In short, an amazing book!

Just what I was looking for to help explain Kepler's discoveries. Seeing the details math calculations from Kepler's days alone is worth the purchase.

Astronomia Nova é o maravilhoso trabalho de Johannes Kepler!
Segunda edição, completamente revisada, da única tradução para o inglês da obra-prima de 1609 de Kepler. Uma obra de surpreendente originalidade, Astronomia Nova se destaca, com De Revolutionibus de Copérnico e Principia de Newton como um dos textos fundadores da revolução científica. O Kepler revolucionou a astronomia ao insistir que ela se baseava na física em vez de em modelos geométricos ideais.
A sua biblioteca ( e os seus leitores) vão amar esta obra prima.

Le ristampe di libri storici spesso sono di bassa qualità, essendo scansioni dei testi antichi o, peggio ancora, conversioni OCR del testo originale, che spesso generano artefatti incomprensibili. Questo testo è stata una vera sorpresa. La casa editrice mi era totalmente sconosciuta e quindi non avevo grandi aspettative. Invece il libro è ottimo sotto tutti i punti di vista. La qualità tipografica è eccellente, poiché il testo è stato riscritto da zero (non si tratta quindi né di una scansione né di una conversione OCR). La qualità della stampa è ottima, sia del testo che delle immagini. La carta è di ottima qualità. La rilegatura, cosa notevolissima, è a filo, anche nella versione a copertina morbida (che ho acquistato io). Il libro ha dimensioni notevoli (circa 20,5cm x 30,5cm x 3,8 cm) ma ne guadagna la leggibilità e la fruibilità del testo (soprattutto per chi lo volesse studiare seriamente); i font sono infatti di dimensioni notevoli e soprattutto ci sono ampi margini nelle pagine che permettono (per chi volesse) di scriverci annotazioni. La qualità editoriale è altrettanto ottima, poiché sono presenti sia una prefazione di un importante professore di astronomia e storia della scienza dell'Università di Harvard, sia una amplissima introduzione del traduttore, che copre sia il contesto storico che gli aspetti più tecnici dell'astronomia e della matematica usata da Keplero. Il libro è in inglese. In conclusione, 45 euro li vale fino all'ultimo centesimi.

Demonstration of the genius of Kepler. His use and correction of existing observational data from Tycho and the examination of the reasoning of Copernicus moves the acceptance of natural science forward.

I highly recommend this book. It is the great result of a life dedicated to study this landmark in the history of science and this second edition improves the first edited c.25 years ago.
It is a must for everyone interested in the history of astronomy and physics but also in the culture of the scientific revolution.
