"A stimulating, wide-ranging look at how the Greek mathematician and philosopher's key insights have been at the heart of an enormous range of subsequent thought."--"Kirkus Reviews" Praise for "Tycho & Kepler": "Her skill in explaining complex astronomical problems and procedures clearly and succinctly is nothing short of amazing."--"Philadelphia Inquirer" "In "Tycho & Kepler," we are given a sense of science as a quintessentially human activity, conducted by living, breathing and distinctly idiosyncratic subjects."--"Los Angeles Times" (one of the Best Books of 2003)
