Keplers essay, On the SixCornered Snowflake, provides the first published evidence of the ideas of regular arrangements and closepacking which have proved fundamental to crystallography. In it, Kepler ponders on the problem of why snowflakes are hexagonal, two centuries before the first successful steps were taken towards its solution.The purpose of this volume is to display the historical, literary, scientific, and philosophical treasures of Keplers essay. The book includes the modernized text of the 1611 Latin edition, with an English translation by Colin Hardie on the opposite pages. The text is accompanied by an introduction giving details of the history of the work, and two essays; Professor B. J. Masons discussion of the scientific meaning and validity of Keplers arguments and their relation to the history of crystallography and of space filling, and L. L. Whytes examination of Keplers facultas formatrix in relation to the history of philosophical and scientific ideas on the genesis of forms.

The Six Cornered Snowflake is a fantastic read! The way it explains complex ideas in the physical sciences is both engaging and clear. I bought this for my daughter who's into science, and she can't put it down!

Good Content but Slow Delivery
The book itself is great, definitely a classic in the physical sciences. However, it took longer to arrive than I expected. Still, I'm happy with the purchase and the insight it provides.

A Classic Worth Reading
I picked up this classic text thinking it would just be another boring science book. It's surprisingly captivating! The illustrations and concepts are well-explained. Just wish it had a few more recent examples.

Damaged on Arrival
I was really looking forward to reading this book, but it arrived with a torn cover. Quite disappointing. I still managed to read it, but it’s not in great condition.
