Book excerpt: The extraordinary, unlikely tale of Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler and their enormous contribution to astronomy and understanding of the cosmos is one of the strangest stories in the history of science. Kepler was a poor, devoutly religious teacher with a genius for mathematics. Brahe was an arrogant, extravagant aristocrat who possessed the finest astronomical instruments and observations of the time, before the telescope. Both espoused theories that seem off-the-wall to modern minds, but their fateful meeting in Prague in 1600 was to change the future of science. Set in one of the most turbulent and colourful eras in European history, when medieval was giving way to modern, Tycho and Kepler is a double biography of these two remarkable men.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the sixth century B.C.E., the Greek philosopher Anaximander theorized that Earth was at the center of the cosmos. That idea became ingrained in scientific thinking and Christian religious beliefs for more than one thousand years. Defiance of church doctrine could mean death, so no one dared dispute this long-accepted idea. No one except a handful of courageous scientists. In the 1500s and 1600s, men like Nicolaus Copernicus, Johanned Kepler, Galileo Galilei, and Isaac Newton began to ask questions. What if Earth actually orbited the sun, instead of the other way around? What if the universe was much bigger than anyone imagined? These scientists risked their reputations—even their lives—to challenge the very heart of Catholic dogma and scientific tradition. Yet, in less than 200 years, their radical thinking overturned theories that had lasted more than a millennium. Join these bold thinkers on the journey of discovery that forever changed our understanding of the cosmos.

Book excerpt: Johannes Kepler's discovery of the basic quantitative laws that describe planetary motion placed the heliocentric cosmology of Copernicus on a sound mathematic basis and proved the way for Newton's work in the next century. In this balanced, clearly written book, Job Kazhamthadam, S.J., examines for the first time the religious, philosophical, and empirical factors that informed Kepler's thought and works and made his discovery possible.

Book excerpt: Why is the cosmos intellectually accessible to the human mind? A host of philosophers, theologians, scientists, and mathematicians of the Great Western Tradition have been struck by the uncanny interconnection between three fundamentally distinct domains of reality: nature, mathematics, and the human mind. This resonance has been discussed since antiquity and often attributed to a transcendent rational source of both material and immaterial aspects of reality. Johannes Kepler, a devout Christian who was greatly influenced by this intellectual tradition, was instrumental in transforming classical astronomy into a true celestial physics. He was convinced that a tripartite harmony of archetype, copy, and image explained the interconnections that made his natural philosophy possible-that allowed him to share in God's own thoughts. Rather than being diminished by the past few centuries of scientific progress, Keplerian natural theology is a more robust explanation of cosmic comprehensibility than ever before.

Book excerpt: Many people today are reluctant to believe in blessings ensuing from a supernatural source, and they are hesitant to lend credence to the possibility of miracles and supernatural experiences as well. Numerous Christians too, although they profess allegiance to the God of the Holy Bible, tread delicately on a path that would otherwise bridge a chasm between the temporal or tangible and the miraculous or preternatural. The result is a departure from Biblical Christianity and the embracing of a kind of pseudo-religiosity far removed from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In Blessings, Miracles & Supernatural Experiences: A Biblical Perspective A Christians Story, the author presents an explicative discussion about blessings, miracles and supernatural experiences from a Biblical standpoint. He purposes to explain the supernaturalness of God, while acknowledging present-day humankinds falling away from Biblical Christianity and its pronouncements about an omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent Creator and Designer of life and of the universe. The author devotes three full-length chapters to the recollection of blessings, miracles and supernatural experiences in his life, the lives of family members including his siblings and their families, and his parents. There are stories about healings, miracles, supernatural experiences and even demon possession and exorcism, all of which actually took place. The penultimate and final chapters of Blessings, Miracles & Supernatural Experiences: A Biblical Perspective A Christians Story examine the greatest miracle in history the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and analyze what religious scholars refer to as End-time events and the ushering in of eternity, a period of everlastingness in either of two locations heaven or hell!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) is remembered, along with Copernicus and Galileo, as one of the greatest Renaissance astronomers. A gifted analytical thinker, he made major contributions to physics, astronomy, and mathematics. Kepler was trained as a theologian, yet did not hesitate to challenge church doctrine and prevailing scientific beliefs by supporting the theory of a Sun-centered solar system. As Imperial Mathematician to the Holy Roman Emperor, he analyzed the precise observations of the heavens that his predecessor, the great astronomer Tycho Brahe, had recorded. The book follows the ingenious scientist along the difficult pathway from raw data to his monumental discovery--the three Laws of Planetary Motion. Kepler also made fundamental contributions to optical theory, including a correct description of the function of the eye and a new and improved telescope design. His unique Rudolfine Tables, universal calculations of planetary motion, were unprecedented in their accuracy. James Voelkel vividly describes these scientific achievements, providing enough background in astronomy and geometry so even beginners can follow Kepler's thinking and enjoy this book. Equally captivating is his account of Kepler's tumultuous life, plagued by misery, disease, war, and fervent religious persecution.Oxford Portraits in Science is an ongoing series of scientific biographies for young adults. Written by top scholars and writers, each biography examines the personality of its subject as well as the thought process leading to his or her discoveries. These illustrated biographies combine accessible technical information with compelling personal stories to portray the scientists whose work has shaped our understanding of the natural world.

Through the art of play, the drive of discovery, and the awe of adventure, children will gain a sense of wonder in their Creator that will last a lifetime.
