Reviews
"…Heavenly Intrigue is a delight. …crisply written … an enthralling read, as a murder mystery being investigated four centuries after the death. …informative and entertaining…" - WASHINGTON POST BOOKWORLD "The authors present cutting-edge forensic evidence of mercury poison in Brahe's remains. To further build their case, they offer transcripts of letters and papers never before translated from Latin and interpretations from historians of astronomy. … The story is carefully documented and the science behind the men's work is clearly laid out." - SCIENCE NEWS "The husband and wife team of Joshua and Anne- Lee Gilder are a couple of latter- day Heinrich Schliemanns … like a historical CSI team, [the Gilders] make a very good case for Brahe's death by poisoning with Kepler as the poisoner." - BOOKPAGE "… the Gilders have produced a brilliant, readable, and original historical work that ought to convince readers that one of history's greatest scientist committed a cold-blooded murder." - NATIONAL REVIEW "…a fascinating story, told simply and elegantly … just as fascinating as the forensic detective work is the Gilders' portrait of the age in which the two men struggled toward a greater clarity about the cosmos." - THE WASHINGTON TIMES "…plenty of intellectual enjoyment and reading pleasure." - Arizona Daily Star "The Medicine Men recommend this chronicle for readers who like astronomy, history, biographies or mysteries." - Robert J. Cihak, M.D., past president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons for Jewishworldreview.com "Kepler demonstrably had the motive, knowledge, and opportunity to destroy his mentor, from whose observations he derived his laws of planetary motion. The authors marshal the evidence effectively and vividly paint the historical context of their tale. …a fascinating story." - KIRKUS REVIEWS "Through some sharp-eyed sleuthing, the authors then build a strong circumstantial case against Kepler as the cunning culprit. Their remarkable detective work will win praise from mystery buffs and historians alike." - BOOKLIST "…a startling twist on the story of the troubled relationship of Tycho Brahe and his assistant, Johannes Kepler." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY From the Hardcover edition.

Item description from the seller
Seller Feedback (4,846)
- o***b (148)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseThe transaction was fine. My only issue was that the book was advertised as “Like New” but the seller neglected to mention that there was a “From the library of…” sticker right when you open the book. Had I known about that, I wouldn’t have purchased it. But other than that, the book was in solid form, the price was right and securely and promptly delivered. A good seller overall. If I’m looking to buy from them again, I’ll know to ask detailed questions.Revolt In 2100 by Robert A. Heinlein (1981, Hardcover, BCE) (#134911955637)

I appreciate the attention to detail in the packing, and the extra outlays for packing material. Mailing costs were reasonable given the weight of the items. Count me as quite satisfied. Certainly I would do business again with this seller.Groves Dictionary of Music And Musicians, fifth edition by Eric Blom (1968, HC) (#134698787438)
