{"product_id":"from-eudoxus-to-einstein-c-m-linton-9780521827508","title":"From Eudoxus to Einstein: A History of Mathematical Astronomy","description":"Since humans first looked towards the heavens, they have attempted to predict and explain the motions of the sun, moon, and planets. This book describes the theories of planetary motion that have been developed through the ages, from the homocentric spheres of Eudoxus to Einstein's general theory of relativity. It emphasizes the interaction between progress in astronomy and in mathematics, demonstrating how the two have been inextricably linked since Babylonian times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Linton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521827507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521827508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.50w x 1.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2005 pg. 1248","brand":"Christopher Linton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44634238976255,"sku":"9780521827508","price":182.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bdd3e9c8-3db2-4395-8853-7c726d134981.jpg?v=1703588264","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-eudoxus-to-einstein-c-m-linton-9780521827508","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
