Seller's Description:
New in New jacket. Book. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. New York, NY, WH Freeman, 1993. First edition. 8vo. Bright red cloth with gilt lettering on spine, black and white illustrations through-out, 317 pp. To show how our view of the solar system has changed from clocklike precision to chaos and complexity, Newton's Clock describes the development of celestial mechanics through the ages-from the star charts of ancient navigators to the seminal discoveries of the 17th century and new theories made possible by modern mathematics and computers. The result makes for entertaining and provocative reading; equal parts science, history and intellectual adventure. New in a new dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover.
