Description

""A Documentary History of the Problem of Fall from Kepler to Newton: De Motu Gravium Naturaliter Cadentium In Hypothesi Terrae Motae"" is a scholarly work by Alexandre Koyre that traces the evolution of the concept of gravity from the time of Johannes Kepler to Isaac Newton. The book is a collection of primary sources, including letters, manuscripts, and published works, that illustrate the development of the problem of fall and the various attempts to explain it. The book covers the period from the early 17th century, when Kepler first proposed his laws of planetary motion, to the late 17th century, when Newton published his groundbreaking work on gravity. The book provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and the development of modern physics.Transactions Of The American Philosophical Society, New Series, V45, Part 4, 1955.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
