Theories of the World from Antiquity to the Copernican Revolution: Second Revised EditionThis newly revised edition of Professor Crowe's accessible and enlightening book recreates one of the most dramatic developments in the history of thought: the change from an earth centered to a sun centered conception of the solar system. Written in a clear and straightforward manner, the work is organized around a hypothetical debate: Given the evidence available in 1615, which planetary system (Ptolemaic, Copernican, Tychonic, etc.) was most

This newly revised edition of Professor Crowe's accessible and enlightening book recreates one of the most dramatic developments in the history of thought: the change from an earth-centered to a sun-centered conception of the solar system. Written in a clear and straightforward manner, the work is organized around a hypothetical debate: Given the evidence available in 1615, which planetary system (Ptolemaic, Copernican, Tychonic, etc.) was most deserving of support?
Beginning with an introductory chapter on celestial motions, Dr. Crowe proceeds to a discussion of Greek astronomy before Ptolemy, mathematical techniques used by ancient astronomers, the Ptolemaic system, the Copernican and Tychonic systems, and the contributions of Kepler and Galileo. In an epilogue, quotes from writers, philosophers, and scientists reveal the impact of Copernican thought on their work. Easily within the reach of anyone with a background in high school mathematics, this absorbing study offers a sound introduction to our solar system and an opportunity to relive one of the most momentous periods in intellectual history.

The cream is very soothing on the skin, it is all that it claims to do. After a couple of uses, my skin cleared up of all the dryness and redness. It is gentle and effective on the skin. Its very good value for money. For anyone with sensitive skin its very beneficial. I will recommend it.

Great product for sensitive skin
Style: Tolerance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Cream
I have sensitive skin that is constantly getting irritated by moisturizers/seemingly simple skin care products. I read a few blogs/articles/reviews on different products others have tried for similar issues and this one came up, so I decided to give it a try. It’s nice and light and goes on smoothly. Skin feels moisturized and does not get irritated, so that’s a win! The only reason I took off 1 star is it leaves my skin a bit oily for my liking, but that could just be my skin.

I have extremely sensitive skin and this stuff is AMAZING. After being in sun, facial, stripped skin from treatments or products it’s super calming.

Nice products with positive results
I bought Anua toner, trio, and moisturizer. I am in love with these products. They clean your skin really well without leaving residue. They moisturize without leaving your skin oily, and after less than a week of use, I'm already seeing improvement in my skin texture. It really is a good value for the price and how much you use each time. All of this with no irritation.
