This volume is dedicated to Johannes Kepler (1571 - 1630).  Kepler is the father of celestial mechanics and the discoverer of three primary laws of planetary motion.  He was a friend of Galileo and he was the mentor of both Edmund Halley of cometary fame, and Isaac Newton of Principia fame.  The works by Kepler and Newton have been the two biggest birth pangs in the birthing of modern science.
