Novelties in the heavens
I found this book very interesting. It not only describes Newton´s discoveries but also all the evolution after him, and the confirmation of his theories. I found particularly funny the measurement of the length of 1 degree meridian, it is unbelieveable how they measured the distance between the earth and Mars for example with such archaich tools. Definitely recommend it.
