Daisy Dunn, author of The Missing Thread In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus declared the earth revolved around the Sun, overturning centuries of scholastic presumption. A new age was coming into view one guided by observation, technology and logic. But omens and elixirs did not disappear from the sixteenth-century laboratory. Charms and potions could still be found nestled between glistening brass instruments and leather-bound tomes. The line between the natural and supernatural remained porous, yet to be defined. From the icy Danish observatory of Tycho Brahe, to the smoky, sulphur-stained workshop of John Dee, Violet Moller tours the intellectual heart of early European science. Exploring its rich, multidisciplinary culture, Inside the Stargazers Palace reveals a dazzling forgotten world, where all knowledge, no matter how arcane, could be pursued in good faith. *** 'In this fascinating study of the early scientific revolution, when experimental thought was beginning to emerge from Medieval scholasticism, Violet Moller brings to life the trailblazers of this new age.' Paul Strathern, author ofThe Other Renaissance 'Inside the Stargazer's Palace plunges us into an irresistible network of touchy scientists, unpredictable patrons and religious controversy in the sixteenth century, antechamber of the modern world. Violet Moller is an assured and expert guide to this world, writing with a light touch and an infectious love of her subject.' Christopher de Bellaigue, author ofThe Lion House Inside the Stargazers Palace takes the reader to places they are unlikely to have visited and to figures they are unlikely to know Violet Moller brings the world to life vividly and with style.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This compact gift book is packed full of witty, scandalous and entertaining quotations about this famous city from the Middle Ages to the current decade.Oxford is one of the world's great cities - a source of inspiration to generations of poets, novelists, journalists, and commentators who have visited or called it home. Be it praise or colourful invective, everyone, it seems, has something to say about the city and this slender volume - filled with wise, witty, and sometimes scandalous quotes - presents the full range of impressions it has made.Oxford, 'City of Dreaming Spires,' earns high marks from Hillaire Belloc, who writes that 'there are few greater temptations on earth than to stay permanently at Oxford . . . and to read all the books in the Bodleian.' But it is also, according to Anthony Trollope, 'the most dangerous place to which a young man can be sent.' And none other than Max Beerbohm blames it for making him insufferable.For fans, foes, and those planning a trip to the city in the hopes of forming an opinion, this collection will be welcomed. This compact gift book is packed full of witty, scandalous and entertaining quotations about this famous city from the Middle Ages to the current decade.

'Violet Moller brings to life the ways in which knowledge reached us from antiquity to the present day in a book that is as delightful as it is readable.' Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads In The Map of Knowledge Violet Moller traces the journey taken by the ideas of three of the greatest scientists of antiquity Euclid, Galen and Ptolemy through seven cities and over a thousand years. In it, we follow them from sixth-century Alexandria to ninth-century Baghdad. From Muslim Cordoba to Catholic Toledo. From Salernos medieval medical school to Palermo, capital of Sicilys vibrant mix of cultures. And finally to Venice, where that great merchant citys printing presses would enable Euclids geometry, Ptolemys system of the stars and Galens vast body of writings on medicine to spread even more widely. In tracing these fragile strands of knowledge from century to century, from east to west and north to south, Moller also reveals the web of connections between the Islamic world and Christendom. Connections that would both preserve and transform astronomy, mathematics and medicine from the early Middle Ages to the Renaissance. Vividly told and with a dazzling cast of characters, The Map of Knowledge is an evocative, nuanced and vibrant account of our common intellectual heritage. 'An endlessly fascinating book, rich in detail, capacious and humane in vision.' Stephen Greenblatt, author of The Swerve: How the World Became Modern.
