Isaac Newton's Natural Philosophy
On Tycho's Island is a history of astronomy book that looks at the amazing astronomer Tycho Brahe and his island observatory. It takes a good look that the years that Tycho operated his observatory Uraniborg, but doesn't look too closely at the rest of Tycho's life. His early years are given brief treatment and his time in exile is only explored up to the time that he landed a position with the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II. Largely missing is his time with Johannes Kepler, that is unless you read the biographical entries at the end of the book. The author appended biographies of virtually all of the people mentioned in the book, sometimes with information that was relevant to the life of Tycho, but often not. I would have preferred to have more info about Tycho himself in place of all of these biographical entries but I understand the author's rationale for including it.
