Description
"Offering a unique insight into a subject sometimes thought too difficult for the non-mathematician to grasp, and using only basic mathematics, this book provides the necessary tools to enable the reader to understand the underlying physical phenomena behind celestial mechanics. It also provides facts and figures on historical events and modern discoveries, and gives a tantalising glimpse into a possible future."--BOOK JACKET.
