These tables resemble those previously pub. by the APS: Tuckerman's \"Planetary, Lunar, and Solar Positions, 601 B.C. to A.D. 1\" and \"A.D. 2 to A.D. 1649\" and Goldstine's \"New and Full Moon, 1001 B.C. to A.D. 1651.\" The tables contain features consistent with the almanacs and ephemerides pub. in this period: planetary positions are computed for 12 hours U.T. (noon); and the Julian day number is given for new and full moons. An analytical essay examines the theoretical and computational developments in almanac-making in the period that bridges between Kepler and Laplace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Owen Gingerich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0871695901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780871695901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Philosophical Society Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 97\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Owen Gingerich","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48449031831807,"sku":"9780871695901","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eab7af08-25fb-4449-8e7d-cc6b59f7d5ec.jpg?v=1777261655","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/planetary-lunar-and-solar-positions-owen-gingerich-9780871695901","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
