Partial copy from the back cover: "...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...."
