From the sources of mathematics and mythology sprang the classic star chart, the finest examples of which are both scientific documents and works of art. In this beautifully illustrated book, Peter Whitfield reveals some of the ways in which the structure of the universe has been conceived, explained and depicted. With examples ranging from the Stone Age to the Space Age - ancient observatories, the angelic visions of Dante, images from the Copernican revolution, the rationalized heavens of Isaac Newton, and modern deep space technology - Whitfield offers a challenging exploration of the tension between rigorous scientific knowledge and the continuing search for cause, certainty and harmony in the universe. This new edition is updated to include a wider range of stunning maps of the skies in full colour, including imagery from the latest voyages of space exploration.--Dust jacket Geschichte gnd Cosmology Popular works Astronomy History Astronomy Charts, diagrams, etc Celestial globes History Kosmografie (DE-588)4202654-4 gnd Sternhimmel (DE-588)4191619-0 gnd Stern (DE-588)4057342-4 gnd Karte (DE-588)4029783-4 gnd Historische Kartografie (DE-588)4025109-3 gnd Astronomie (DE-588)4003311-9 gnd Bildband gnd-content British Library (DE-588)1023420-2 Herausgebendes Organ isb https://unisg.link/hm00668835 Inhaltsverzeichnis BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 IDSSG HSG HSG UG RB 10217 W595 .2018 IDSSG 100 1- Whitfield Peter 1947- (DE-588)132158604 Verfasser aut IDSSG 710 2- British Library (DE-588)1023420-2 Herausgebendes Organ isb IDSSG 856 40 https://unisg.link/hm00668835 Inhaltsverzeichnis SWISSBIB 529026708
