Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems

if any one want to understand modern Science, start from this book.this is the best book ever I read. this is Treasure of Science.I got wrong book from Amazon but after it I bought from shop but book is awesome.

I have a lot of paperbacks in my library but this book does not look like an original one. The cover touch is off and rough and the paper used looks like a neat photocopy. Probably this was how it was originally printed but cant say.Anyways the content within it is the most interesting part.

It's amazing that a modern English translation of this classic wasn't attempted until 1952, so it's not generally available as an e-book (except for excerpts). But the full version is well worth reading. Given that his main experience of tides was in Venice (whose tides are mainly diurnal), and that gravitation wasn't properly understood at the time, his theory of the tides wasn't as rubbishy as most people have assumed since the 18th C. But it's the delightful way he knocks Aristotle off his perch that is the best part, starting with his tongue in cheek preface.

A very special book, taking me a little time to read and digest.

Brilliant book, just finished first day dialogue, can't believe this book was written in 1632.

Good book

Can be hard going at times but fascinating use of logic and thought experiments to demonstrate proofs. Aimed at those with a keen interest in science and space.
