While that discovery would be enough to make the career of any scientist, Halleys massive contributions to the fields of astronomy, navigation, geophysics, mathematics, engineering, and actuarial science as a young man and eventually as Astronomer Royal are mostly overlooked. Edmond Halley: The Many Discoveries of the Most Curious Astronomer Royal is a revelatory and deeply researched biography of a man whose defining achievement isnt even the half of it.A jack-of-all-trades when it came to scientific reasoning, an all-around academic and workaholic who couldnt leave well enough alone, Halley was amazingly productive and prolific. He was behind some of the most groundbreaking discoveries in human history: It was Halley who was the first to accurately plot the stars of the southern hemisphere. He published Isaac Newtons Principia, arguably the most important scientific text ever written; translated the works of ancient Greek mathematician Apollonius; captained the ship Paramore on a scientific expedition to plot the Earths magnetic fields; was the first to calculate mortality annuities, creating the foundation for actuarial science; made improvements to the diving bell; surveyed the tides of the English Channel; and began the movement to accurately measure the distance between the Earth and Sun, unlocking the key to determining the distances to the nearest stars.In this incisive and perceptive biography, author David K. Love reveals the boundless mind and endless curiosity of Edmond Halley firmly cementing the legacy of the second Astronomer Royal among the first-rate scientists of his time....1743093Edmond Halley323448https://www.gandhi.com.mx/edmond-halley/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/395806/36601527-b6c9-4ad1-bc7c-0e68ff628888.jpg?v=638686144847400000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239781633888920_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9781633888920_Edmond Halley is known far and wide thanks largely to the comet bearing his name, the nature of which he predicted in 1705.

He was behind some of the most groundbreaking pieces of discovery in human history: it was Halley who was the first to survey the skies and plot the stars of the southern hemisphere; he published Isaac Newtons Principia Mathematica, which many argue is the most important scientific text ever written; in the field of history, he translated the works of ancient Greek mathematician Apollonius and calculated the date of Julius Caesars arrival in Britain; he captained the ship Paramore on a scientific expedition to plot the Earths magnetic fields, not losing a single original crewmember on the mission; Halley was the first to calculate mortality annuities, creating the foundation for actuarial science; he made improvements to the diving bell, surveyed the tides of the English channel, and led the movement to accurately measure the distance between the Earth and Sun, unlocking the key to determining the distance to the nearest stars.In this incisive and surprising biography, author David K.
