This book was released on 1989-04-15 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sidereus Nuncius (usually Sidereal Messenger, also Starry Messenger or Sidereal Message) is a short astronomical treatise (or pamphlet) published in New Latin by Galileo Galilei in March 1610. It was the first published scientific work based on observations made through a telescope, and it contains the results of Galileo's early observations of the imperfect and mountainous Moon, the hundreds of stars that were unable to be seen in either the Milky Way or certain constellations with the naked eye, and the Medicean Stars that appeared to be circling Jupiter.[1] The Latin word nuncius was typically used during this time period to denote messenger; however, albeit less frequently, it was also interpreted as message. While the title Sidereus Nuncius is usually translated into English as Sidereal Messenger, many of Galileo's early drafts of the book and later related writings indicate that the intended purpose of the book was "simply to report the news about recent developments in astronomy, not to pass himself off solemnly as an ambassador from heaven."[2] Therefore, the correct English translation of the title is Sidereal Message (or often, Starry Message)."--Wikiped, Nov/2014.
Download or read book Mentis Nuncius written by Hugo du Coudray and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-12-15 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis of this work is that the modern scientific world view, emerging in the 20th Century, makes a new metaphysics in System Science. That metaphysics illuminates the most difficult subjects in Psychology, like mind, consciousness and the self. It proposes that the phenomena of life and mind-and even of "soul" and "spirit"-are the natural emergents of the basic forms of Nature itself, and that these forms have been discovered and described in the science of the last hundred years. The main resources for this conclusion are in those developments, as amplified in the work of Alfred North Whitehead and Gregory Bateson. The book is intended as a reading in History and Systems of Psychology and for an interested public. The title of the book means "messenger of mind." It is a tribute to Galileo Galilei, whose book, Siderius Nuncius ("messenger of the stars") appeared in 1610 and founded both telescope Astronomy and the modern scientific era. Cheaper b&w and e-book editions are available.

Download or read book A Galileo Forgery written by Horst Bredekamp and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galileo’s O, Volume III, is perhaps without peer in the history of the book. In this work, historians in various fields revise the results they presented in the first two volumes, which focused on the New York copy of Sidereus Nuncius, written in 1610. The analysis of this book was conceived as a uniquely multidisciplinary and cooperative undertaking, and many of its findings remain valid. Yet the subject of analysis proved to be the work of an international group of forgers. Volume III describes the chronology and methods by which the discovery of forgery was made – a veritable watershed moment in the continuing struggle between the ever-more refined methods of forgers and new methods used to apprehend them. Ultimately, the work also provides insight into the psychology of specialists who “research themselves” in order to prevent similar errors in the future.
Download or read book Galileo s Sidereus Nuncius Or A Sidereal Message written by Galileo Galilei and published by Science History Publications/USA. This book was released on 2009 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instrument can change the world and compel us to rethink our place in the universe. The telescope did just this, but only when it was used by Galileo, whose eye was prepared to see new things and whose hand was able to depict what he saw. It was not only because Galileo was a gifted and persistent observer, but also because he was an exceptional draughtsman that he was able to discover what others had failed to see or lacked the ability to record.

Download or read book Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems written by Galileo and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2001-10-02 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galileo’s Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, published in Florence in 1632, was the most proximate cause of his being brought to trial before the Inquisition. Using the dialogue form, a genre common in classical philosophical works, Galileo masterfully demonstrates the truth of the Copernican system over the Ptolemaic one, proving, for the first time, that the earth revolves around the sun. Its influence is incalculable. The Dialogue is not only one of the most important scientific treatises ever written, but a work of supreme clarity and accessibility, remaining as readable now as when it was first published. This edition uses the definitive text established by the University of California Press, in Stillman Drake’s translation, and includes a Foreword by Albert Einstein and a new Introduction by J. L. Heilbron.
