Description

This scholarly volume compiles the proceedings from Joint Discussion-17 at the 23rd General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union, offering comprehensive coverage of astronomical research and traditions across the Orient. The book explores significant developments in Chinese astronomy documented through Joseph Needham's extensive research on Science and Civilisation in China, Japanese astronomical history as covered in S. Nakayama's seminal work, and Islamic astronomy including critical studies of Ptolemaic astronomy by scholars from Nasir al-Din al-Tusi's School at Maragha Observatory during the 13th-14th centuries. Part of the Astrophysics and Space Science Library series (volume 275), this academic publication brings together expert perspectives on the history and evolution of oriental astronomical thought and practice, making it an essential reference for historians of science, astronomers, and scholars of Asian intellectual heritage.
