Hardback. Zustand: Good. 16th century mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler was a brilliant scientist who discovered the three basic laws of planetary motion. But he was also a man of his time. Kepler was a Protestant and a supporter of the Copernican system at a time when either position could cost him his job or freedom, and practiced astrology for much of his life. At one point he was forced to quit his job as Imperial Mathematician for the Holy Roman Emperor in order to help defend his mother, who had been accused of witchcraft. Set against the backdrop of his mother's trial, this lively biography of "the Protestant Galileo" reveals the surprisingly spiritual nature of the quest of early modern science. Many records have been translated into English for the first time. Connor's unforgettable story illuminates the life of Kepler, the man of science, but also Kepler, a man of uncommon faith and vision.James A. Connor is a former Jesuit priest who is now professor of English at Kean University in New Jersey. He has also held teaching posts at St. Louis University and Gonzaga University. The author of God's Breath and Other Stories and Silent Fire, Connor holds degrees in geosciences, philosophy, theology and creative writing, and a doctorate in literature and science. He is a prize-winning essayist and has been published many journals, including American Book Review, Traditional Home Magazine, Willow Springs, The Critic, The Iowa Review, and The Iowa Journal of Literary Studies."A fascinating book, analyzing a pivotal time in western intellectual history." -- John Shelby Spong, author of A New Christianity for a New World.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Set against the backdrop of the witchcraft trial of his mother, this fascinating biography of Johannes Kepler, the Protestant Galileo and 16th century mathematician and astronomer who discovered the three basic laws of planetary motion, reveals the surprisingly spiritual nature of the quest of early modern science. In the style of Dava Sobel's Galileo's Daughter, Connor's book vividly brings to life the tidal forces of Reformation, Counter-Reformation, and social upheaval in the early days of the modern world. The wall between Science and Religion has not always been so high. While in the 21st century, we have become used to mechanical solar systems and Godless universes, in the early days of the scientific revolution, many scientists explored the natural world for spiritual reasons. This was especially true for Johannes Kepler, who discovered the three basic laws of planetary motion. He was in many ways the Protestant Galileo, persecuted for his support of the Copernican system. Along the way, a neighbour lady accused his mother of witchcraft, and Kepler abandoned his post as the Imperial mathematician for a time to defend her. James Connor, an author whose star is on the rise, tells the story of Kepler's life as a pilgrimage, a spiritual journey into the modern world through war and disease and terrible injustice, a journey reflected in the evolution of Kepler's geometrical model of the cosmos into a musical model, harmony into greater harmony. The leitmotif of the witch trial stitches the biography together and adds a third dimension to Kepler's life by setting his personal life deep within his own times. The acts of this trial, including Kepler's letters and the accounts of the witnesses, have been published in their original German dialects but have never before been translated into English. As Dava Sobel did as part of her work on Galileo's Daughter, Connor has translated the witch trial documents into English for the first time. David Koch, the Deputy Principal Investigator for NASA's Kepler Mission, provides a foreword revealing Kepler's many contributions to the world of science. Kepler is a man whose name every student of science knows, an icon of the modern age, but few know anything the man himself.…
