The Composition of Kepler's Astronomia nova
James R. Voelkel
Drawing on Kepler's correspondence and manuscripts, this book reveals that the style of Kepler's magnum opus, "Astronomia nova" (1609), has been traditionally misinterpreted. Kepler laid forth the first two of his three laws of planetary motion in this work.
