This book offers a new perspective and new interpretations of previously published materials, together with various insights about recently researched sources. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is a complete account of the life and work of Bradley as discerned from surviving documents of his working archive, as well as other documents and records. In addition, it offers a new interpretation of Bradley's work as an astronomer, not merely from his observations of Jupiter and Saturn and their satellites and annual aberration and the nutation of the Earth's axis, but also his corroborative work with pendulums and other horological work with George Graham. It also explores the little amount documented about his private life including a degree of speculation about his personal relationships. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis work on 18th century astronomy is intended for students of the history of science, astronomy and 18th century English society, and for scholars seeking new lines of inquiry. It contains an extensive bibliography and a detailed chronology, both of which offer support for further reading and research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Fisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198884206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198884200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.60w x 1.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2024","brand":"John Fisher","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46233119981823,"sku":"9780198884200","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1e93c3e-9670-44c7-af4d-4b1b67e2014c.jpg?v=1728992125","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-life-and-work-of-john-fisher-9780198884200","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
