This is the only detailed history of early astronomy available in English. Formerly published under the title History of the Planetary Systems from Thales to Kepler, it is recognized as a masterpiece of both historical insight and scientific accuracy.Beginning with the astronomical ideas of the ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, and pre-philosophic Greeks (Homer and Hesiod), it moves up through Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Xenophanes, Parmenides, Heraclitus, Empedocles, Democritus, and other early Greek cosmologists. The Pythagoreans are considered next, with their occasionally remarkable anticipations of modernity, and then Plato's astronomical thought. The enormously important system of concentric spheres for planets, usually associated with Eudoxus, is described in detail, followed by a discussion of Aristotle, Heraclides, and Aristarchus. The theory of epicycles -- which held for almost 2,000 years -- is then considered, with chapters on the dimensions of the world and the finished Ptolemaic system.
Medieval European and Islamic cosmologies are then described in detail. Nicolas of Cusa, Regiomontanus, Calcagnini, and other transitional figures from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance are then followed by detailed chapters on Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, and Kepler.

Perfect size works well
Number of Items: 4
The thickness is perfect. The quality is great very doable and holds very well. Whenever you wrap it great value for the money. I’ve tried other ones and this one is the best so far.

Does not fit in any tape dispenser
Number of Items: 4
While the tape itself is good I haven’t found a dispenser that works with this tape. For that reason when it’s gone I will try something different.

Great price point, value, quickness to ship
Number of Items: 4
Arrived well packaged, does what it’s intended to do. Not overly sticky but sticky enough to adhere to surfaces and hold things in place. Doesn’t burn or melt and doesn’t affect the pieces of sublimation it covers. I like the thickness over the thin tape as it’s easier for me to manage, and my dispenser holds the thicker tape. Has saved me when I’ve ran out of tape for projects and needed and immediate replacement overnight. I work 12 hours overnight and most places aren’t open when I get off work, and I don’t have time before work to run out to the store. Most craft stores close early on my days off if they are open at all so this is an absolute game changer for me as far as convenience and price. Can order it when I realize I’m running out and it arrives before or shortly after I get off work. Extremely convenient and worth every penny.

Reliable Heat Tape That Works Perfectly – No Residue and Great Value!
Number of Items: 4
I bought the MEBMIK heat tape for my heat press projects, and it’s been fantastic so far. The tape holds up well under high temperatures without melting or peeling, which is exactly what I needed for heat sublimation and vinyl pressing.
What really impressed me is that it leaves no sticky residue on my materials, so I don’t have to worry about ruining my projects or cleaning up afterward. The tape is also easy to tear by hand and sticks firmly during pressing.
With 4 rolls included, this pack gives me plenty of tape for all my projects, and the price is great compared to buying smaller amounts elsewhere. If you’re doing heat press work and need reliable, heat-resistant tape, this is a great choice.
