Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), the premier patron-practitioner of science in sixteenth-century Europe, established a new role of scientist as administrator, active reformer, and natural philosopher. This book explores Brahe's wide range of activities which encompass much more than his reputed role of astronomer, portraying Brahe as Platonic philosopher, Paracelsian chemist, Ovidian poet, and devoted family man. From his private island in Denmark, Brahe used patronage, printing, friendship, and marriage to incorporate men and women skilled in science, technology, and the fine arts into his program of cosmic reform. This pioneering study includes capsule biographies of over a hundred men and women, including Johannes Kepler, Willebrord Snel, Willem Blaeu, several bishops and numerous technical specialists all of whom helped shape the culture of the Scientific Revolution. Under Tycho Brahe's leadership, their teamwork achieved breakthroughs in astronomy, scientific method, and research organization that were essential to the birth of modern science.… (mere)

This is an absorbing, academic but approachable book that -- for me, at least -- presents a portrait of Tycho Brahe and his work that is refreshingly different from the one I'd known. For one, Brahe was not 'simply' a great observational astronomer who collected reams of data more accurate than that prior to his advent: he was in fact a theorist as well, and one grounded in a fascinating esoteric brand of Neoplatonism I knew nothing about. He also comes across as considerably more wide-minded (while perhaps understandably fond of his high noble standing) than typically presented by, say, Arthur Koestler or even John Banville (whose novel _Kepler_ I love nonethless). Read and learn and enjoy. ( )

How would a 16th century Danish aristocrat set about creating Cern and how would it work, compared with the twenty-first century example down the road from where I write?

Excellent social history of the period and place. Rigorously researched and documented. ( )

Excellent , as much for the social and political history as the scientific
