Comets, Popular Culture, and the Birth of Modern Cosmology

Presents a case study that challenges the view that rationalism was at odds with popular belief in the development of scientific theories. This book shows that until the seventeenth century, all members of society dreaded comets as heaven-sent portents of plague, flood, civil disorder, and other calamities.
