2008061939New York: Nova Science Publishers Inc 2008. Cloth. Like New/No d/j as Published. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Type: Book This new book presents leading-edge research on Mars which is the fourth planet from the Sun in the Solar System. The planet is named after Mars the Roman god of war. It is also referred to as the 'Red Planet' because of its reddish appearance as seen from Earth. A terrestrial planet Mars has a thin atmosphere and surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes valleys deserts and polar ice caps of Earth. It is the site of Olympus Moons the highest known mountain in the solar system and of Valles Marineris the largest canyon. In addition to its geographical features Mars' rotational period and seasonal cycles are likewise similar to those of the Earth Mars has two moons Phobos and Deimos which are small and irregularly shaped.These may be captured asteroids similar to 5261 Eureka a Martian Trojan asteroid. Mars can be seen from Earth with the naked eye. Its apparent magnitude reaches -2.9 a brightness surpassed only by Venus the Moon and the Sun though for much of the year Jupiter may appear brighter to the naked eye than Mars. 300pp. Nova Science Publishers Inc hardcover
1820ABC_45977England 1820. Late 18th-century half calf marbled sides. 4to. Manuscript volume of notes on practical astronomy and mathematics in English written in ink on Dutch paper with a Maid of Dordrecht watermark without countermark. The leaves are numbered from the front 101 and 26 leaves of text and diagrams 39 blank leaves in the middle last 26 leaves in reverse order illustrated with several astronomical and mathematical diagrams including one of a solar system. A fascinating manual of astronomy written in English particularly as it relates to the form of the motions of the heavens dating from the period 1780-1825 probably from the beginning of that range. It is written in a single hand with the exception of one page though with some variations indicating that different parts of the MS were written at different times. The MS could have been prepared for personal use or as part of public tuition probably the former. The writer summarizes the subject matter of the manual on the first leaf: Astronomy is that part of Natural Philosophy which treats of the Phenomena of the heavenly Bodies. It is divided into 2 Parts Physical and Plain: by the latter we discover their Motions from the Apparent Motions; by the former the Causes of these real Motions. The manuscript comprises three parts with distinct subject matter. The first part covers the motion of the earth around the sun and its rotation about its axis with the consequences for the apparent motions of the sun and the heavens; with the moon and its phases and motion; and with lunar and solar eclipses. There are several references to John Keills An introduction to the true astronomy London 1721 or later editions. The second part principally discusses section 11 of Newtons Principia 1713 or later editions in particular as it relates to the motion of the moon. This part ends with a short section on algebra particularly polynomials which seems to have been composed more haphazardly than the remainder of the text. The third part which runs backwards starting from the end of the notebook gives demonstrations of various results in Book I of Principia notably the theorem that the orbits of the bodies in the solar system do not precess if and only if the central attractive force operating on them is exactly inverse-square. This is an important result not only for Newtons system of universal gravitation but also for the observational astronomy of the solar system which is discussed in the opening section of the book. Between the end of the second part and that of the third there are a few blank leaves and others have been torn out but the text appears to be complete.The manuscript appears to work through at least two different texts beginning with Keills on astronomy. There is a section devoted to what is called the precession of the equinoxes the westward drift of the points where the ecliptic and equator intersect due to the precession of the earths axis - the author notes that Sir Isaac Newton has demonstrated that it arises from the broad spheroidal figure of the earth. The author then turns to sunspots and the arguments for and against their being on the surface of the sun. Then comes a long discussion of the planets: the planes and periods of their orbits phases conjunctions retrograde motions apparent brightness and their distances from the sun. The second and third parts are notably more mathematical in nature than the first.The third part of the manuscript consists of a reading of various sections of Newtons Principia 1713 or later editions. Again it appears to work through and in some cases repeat Newtons proofs rather than representing a translation or paraphrase. It is not based on Mottes translation nor does it correspond with Thorps partial translation and edition. It does not appear to be based on any other intermediary between Newton and the writer such as Pemberton but to rely on Newtons Latin original here rendered in places pretty exactly into English. It renders propositions 43 to 59 of section 9 of book 1 of the Principia which concern the motion of bodies in moveable orbits and the motion of the apsides. This topic remains of considerable interest to astronomers and historians of astronomy. The manuscript hand remains fairly constant throughout the book: some variations more likely indicate the same writer at a different times or with a different pen than a different writer. The manuscript hand and paper together date the manuscript fairly securely to the period 1750-1825. If our hypothesis that the author used Thorps edition of Principia is correct that would date the manuscript no earlier than 1777. The section on the planets in the first part does not mention Uranus Georgium sidus discovered by William Herschel in 1781. Since the anonymous author seems to have followed astronomical discoveries closely this suggests a date no later than 1781. We therefore tentatively date the composition ca. 1777/81.We are indebted to Scott Mandelbrote for his assistance with the description of this notebook.Binding slightly rubbed.

Per Wikipedia Willem Jacob 'S Gravesande 1688 - 1742 Was A Dutch Lawyer And Natural Philosopher Chiefly Remembered For Developing Experimental Demonstrations Of The Laws Of Classical Mechanics. As Professor Of Mathematics Astronomy And Philosophy At Leiden University He Helped To Propagate Isaac Newton's Ideas In Continental Europe. In 1715 'S Gravesande Visited London As Part Of A Dutch Delegation Sent To Welcome The Hanoverian Succession In Great Britain. In London 'S Gravesande Met Both King George I And Isaac Newton And Was Elected A Fellow Of The Royal Society.In 1717 He Became Professor Of Mathematics And Astronomy In Leiden. From That Position He Was Instrumental In Introducing Newton's Work To The Netherlands. 'S Gravesande's Main Scientific Work Is Physices Elementa Mathematica Experimentis Confirmata Sive Introductio Ad Philosophiam Newtonianam "Mathematical Elements Of Natural Philosophy Confirmed By Experiments; Or An Introduction To Newtonian Philosophy" Published In Leiden In 1720. In That Book He Laid The Foundations For The Teaching Of Newtonian Mechanics Through Experimental Demonstrations. He Presented His Work Before Audiences That Included Voltaire And Albrecht Von Haller. The Book Was Soon Translated Into English By John Theophilus Desaguliers Curator Of Experiments For The Royal Society. In 1722 He Published The Results Of A Series Of Experiments In Which Brass Balls Were Dropped From Varying Heights Onto A Soft Clay Surface. He Found That A Ball With Twice The Speed Of Another Would Leave An Indentation Four Times As Deep From Which He Concluded That The Correct Expression For The "Live Force" Of A Body In Motion What Is Modernly Called Its "Kinetic Energy" Is Proportional To Its Mass And The Square Of Its Velocity. <br/> <br/> Lugduni Batavorum Apud Petrum Vander Aa hardcover
