Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book takes the reader on an exploration of the Cosmos, from Mesopotamia and Egypt to China; it unveils the fascinating development of astronomy and mathematics. After an overview of the origins of these subjects, highlighting the contributions of Greek astronomers, the Arab culture, and Copernicus' solar system model, the book delves into the revolutionary work of Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, and Isaac Newton, leading to a comprehensive understanding of the solar system.Special attention is given to the instruments used by ancient astronomers, including the most important astronomical clocks and planetary machines. In light of this, the author examines Kepler's almost unknown design of a planetary machine and offers an interpretation using virtual reality techniques. The book also highlights the Chinese view of the Cosmos and the evolution of its astronomy and astronomical machines, offering readers a unique perspective and insight intothe relationship between astronomy and technology in different cultures.Finally, the author provides a practical approach to understanding the construction and mechanics of astronomical machines, exploring the process of designing and manufacturing a Tellurium.The reading is enriched with short videos of the Tellurium, along with a translation of the description of the planetary machine by Christiaan Huygens. In addition, it provides a unique glimpse into the religious influences on astronomical studies during the mid-1700s through the translation of Johann Albrecht Bengel's book Cyclus.This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science and technology. It appeals to astronomers, mathematicians, physicists, and historians of science and technology alike, providing fascinating descriptions and insightful analysis of the vision of the Cosmos from its earliest conceptions to the present day.

Paperback. Condition: New. Questo libro esplora la ricca e antica tradizione dell'astronomia cinese, sviluppatasi a partire dal terzo millennio prima dell'era corrente e documentata per la prima volta su ossa oracolari oltre 4.000 anni fa. Attraverso una sintesi storica e culturale, l'autore indaga l'evoluzione delle visioni cosmologiche cinesi fino all'arrivo dei missionari gesuiti alla fine del XVI secolo, evento che segnò l'inizio dell'incontro tra la scienza cinese e quella occidentale. Il libro analizza come la cosmologia e l'astronomia cinesi siano intrecciate con la cultura, la società e la filosofia del paese. Esplora il ruolo fondamentale dell'astronomia nella pianificazione del calendario e nei rituali religiosi e civili, e come l'enfasi cinese sulla previsione dei movimenti solari e lunari si distinguesse dall'approccio occidentale volto a comprendere le cause dei movimenti celesti. Attraverso capitoli dettagliati, il libro esamina i fondamenti della matematica antica, i metodi di osservazione e calcolo astronomico, e gli strumenti inventati dagli astronomi cinesi, come le armille e gli gnomoni. Infine, mette a confronto l'astronomia cinese e quella occidentale, evidenziando somiglianze e differenze nei metodi, nelle teorie e nei principi. Il mandato del cielo: L'astronomia nell'antica Cina offre un affascinante viaggio attraverso millenni di storia astronomica cinese, arricchendo la nostra comprensione di questa antica tradizione e della sua influenza sulla civiltà mondiale.…

Paperback. Condition: New. This book explores the rich and ancient tradition of Chinese astronomy, which developed as early as the third millennium BCE and was first documented on oracle bones over 4,000 years ago. Through a historical and cultural synthesis, the author investigates the evolution of Chinese cosmological views up until the arrival of Jesuit missionaries in the late 16th century-an event that marked the beginning of the encounter between Chinese and Western science.The book analyzes how Chinese cosmology and astronomy are deeply intertwined with the country's culture, society, and philosophy. It explores the fundamental role of astronomy in calendar planning, religious and civil rituals, and how the Chinese emphasis on predicting solar and lunar movements differed from the Western approach, which sought to understand the causes of celestial motions.Through detailed chapters, the book examines the foundations of ancient mathematics, observational and astronomical calculation methods, and the instruments invented by Chinese astronomers, such as armillary spheres and gnomons. Finally, it compares Chinese and Western astronomy, highlighting similarities and differences in methods, theories, and principles.The Mandate of Heaven: Astronomy in Ancient China offers a fascinating journey through millennia of Chinese astronomical history, enriching our understanding of this ancient tradition and its influence on world civilization.…
