{"product_id":"tycho-brahe-and-the-measure-john-robert-christianson-9781789142341","title":"Tycho Brahe and the Measure of the Heavens","description":"The Danish aristocrat and astronomer Tycho Brahe personified the inventive vitality of Renaissance life in the sixteenth century. Brahe lost his nose in a student duel, wrote Latin poetry, and built one of the most astonishing villas of the late Renaissance, while virtually inventing team research and establishing the fundamental rules of empirical science. His observatory at Uraniborg functioned as a satellite to Hamlet's castle of Kronborg until Tycho abandoned it to end his days at the court of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II in Prague. This illustrated biography presents a new and dynamic view of Tycho's life, reassessing his gradual separation of astrology from astronomy and his key relationships with Johannes Kepler, his sister Sophie, and his kinsmen at the court of King Frederick II.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Robert Christianson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789142342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789142341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.40w x 0.90d","brand":"John Robert Christianson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080364716287,"sku":"9781789142341","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ec5245d-9f4c-47a8-8aa1-70f397f8a578.jpg?v=1685486396","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tycho-brahe-and-the-measure-john-robert-christianson-9781789142341","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
