520 1  "This is one of the most important studies in decades on 
       Johannes Kepler, among the towering figures in the history
       of astronomy. Drawing extensively on Kepler's 
       correspondence and manuscripts, James Voelkel reveals that
       the strikingly unusual style of Kepler's magnum opus, the 
       Astronomia nova (1609), has been traditionally 
       misinterpreted. Kepler laid forth the first two of his 
       three laws of planetary motion in this work. Instead of a 
       straightforward presentation of his results, however, he 
       led readers on a wild goose chase, recounting the many 
       errors and false starts he had experienced. This had long 
       been deemed a "confessional" mirror of the daunting 
       technical obstacles Kepler faced. As Voelkel amply 
       demonstrates, it is not."--Jacket.
