Nicholas Jardine offers here an edition and the first translation into English of Johannes Kepler's A Defence of Tycho against Ursus. He accompanies this with essays on the provenance of the treatise - the circumstances which provoked Kepler to write it, an analysis of its strategy, style and historical sources and of the contents of Ursus' Treatise on Astronomical Hypotheses to which Kepler was replying. Dr Jardine also provides three extended interpretive essays on the intrinsic interest and historical significance of the work.

Tidying Up Art is an attempt at bringing a bit of clarity into our lives just where it makes no sense at all! Ursus Wehrli, a popular stand-up comedian, rearranges famous works of art, sweeps all unwanted things out of the way and lines everything up in neat rows: after all, being tidy is a virtue.

Ursus and Homo were fast friends. Ursus was a man Homo a wolf. Their dispositions tallied. It was the man who had christened the wolf: probably he had also chosen his own name.

El hombre que ríe, es la historia de Gwynplaine, un niño con la boca deforme que es salvado de una banda de robaniños por Ursus, un cómico ambulante. Junto con el pequeño estará Dea, una niña ciega que crecerá con él y con el pasar del tiempo vivirán un amor casto y puro.

Deep in the wilds of Colorado’s San Juan Mountains there may still lurk a remnant population of the continent’s most fearsome mammal: Ursus arctos horribilis. By 1952 it was widely assumed that the grizzly had been extirpated from Colorado. That is, until one September evening in 1979 when a hunting outfitter named Ed Wiseman was attacked by a four-hundred-pound golden-haired sow. The mauled but alive man (and the dead bear) confirmed what knowledgeable San Juan residents already knew: the Colorado grizzly was no ghost. What has happened since that encounter almost twenty years ago is the subject of this story about the bear and our own species in the wild—and what the future may hold for both.

The modern world can get messy. Fortunately, Swiss artist Ursus Wehrli is a man of obsessive order, as he demonstrates with eye-catching surprise in The Art of Clean Up. Already a bestseller in Germany, this compulsive title has sold more than 100,000 copies in less than a year, and the fastidiously arranged images have garnered blog love from NPR, Brain Pickings, swissmiss, and more. Tapping into the desire for organization and the insanity of über-order, Wehrli humorously categorizes everyday objects and situations by color, size, and shape. He arranges alphabet soup into alphabetical order, sorts the night sky by star size, and aligns sunbathers' accoutrements—all captured in bright photographs sure to astonish even the pickiest of neat freaks.

Excerpt from Man Who Laughs, Vol. 1 of 2As a doctor, Ursus wrought cures by varied means. He made use of aromatics; he was versed in simples; he made the most of the immense power Which lies in a heap of neglected plants, such as the hazel, the cat kin, the white alder, the white briony, the mealy-tree, the traveller's joy, the buckthorn. He treated phthisis with the sun-dew; at opportune moments he would use the leaves of the spurge, which plucked at the bottom are a purgative, and plucked at the top an emetic. He cured sore throat by means of the vegetable excrescence called 1 J ews' ear. He knew the rush which cures the ox, and the mint which cures the horse. He was well acquainted with the beauties and Virtues of the herb mandragora, Which, as every one knows, is of both sexes. He had many recipes. He cured burns with salamander wool, of Which, according to Pliny, Nero had a napkin. Ursus possessed a retort and a flask; he effected transmutations; he sold panaceas. It was said that he had once been for a short time in Bedlam; they had done him the honour to take him for a madman, but had set him free on discovering that he was only a poet. This story was probably not true; we all have to submit to some such absurd reports about ourselves.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Von dem Astronomen und Mathematiker Nicolaus Raimarus Ursus (1551-1600) wissen wir, dass er 1586/87 in Kassel eine fast vollständige deutsche Übersetzung von Nicolaus Copernicus' Hauptwerk "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" angefertigt hat. Nach Raimarus' Weggang aus Kassel wurde die Übersetzung von zwei anderen, namentlich bisher nicht identifizierten Autoren fertiggestellt. Heute befindet sich die Papierhandschrift als "Ms. 560" in der Universitätsbibliothek Graz. Dem Copernicus-Forscher Edward Rosen (1906-1985) gebührt das Verdienst, die erste deutsche Übersetzung des Werkes in das Gedächtnis der Wissenschafts- und Kulturgeschichte zurückgerufen zu haben. Die Existenz einer derart frühen deutschen Übersetzung von "De revolutionibus" und die Details ihrer frühneuhochdeutschen Textfassung bilden einen überaus interessanten Teilaspekt der Copernicus-Rezeption in der zweiten Hälfte des 16. Jahrhunderts, die bisher nur teilweise erforscht worden ist. Nach einer in den 1990er Jahren erfolgten grundlegenden kodikologischen Untersuchung und Beschreibung der Handschrift durch Jürgen Hamel haben Andreas Kühne und Jürgen Hamel eine kritische Edition des Textes der Handschrift erarbeitet. Diese Edition ist sowohl für die Wissenschaftsgeschichte der Frühen Neuzeit als auch für die Erforschung der frühneuhochdeutschen mathematisch-astronomischen Fachsprache von großer Bedeutung.

Ursus and Homo were fast friends. Ursus was a man Homo a wolf. Their dispositions tallied. It was the man who had christened the wolf: probably he had also chosen his own name.

“Ursus was a man, Homo a wolf”: the former a travelling mountebank, the latter his faithful companion. Gwynplaine was abducted as an infant, and cruelly mutilated so that his face shows the permanent smile of a clown. Abandoned by his abductors some years later, Gwynplaine rescues a blind baby girl from the frozen corpse of her mother at the foot of a gibbet. Time passes, and the young girl – christened Dea – comes to love Gwynplaine. Being blind, she is unaware of his disfigurement, but from passing her fingers over his face, assumes that he is always happy. Ursus and Homo meet up with Gwynplaine and Dea, and travel around England performing at funfairs. After some vicissitudes, Gwynplaine is, surprisingly, summoned to the court of Queen Anne, where it is revealed that he is in fact the missing heir of the murdered Lord Linnaeus Clancharlie, Marquis of Corleone. He is, accordingly, installed as an English peer; but when he addresses the House of Lords is ridiculed for his clownish features. He renounces his peerage and rejoins his companions, who resolve to abandon England forever. During the voyage, while Ursus sleeps, Dea reveals to Gwynplaine her secret passion for him, then dies. Gwynplaine drowns himself. Victor Hugo’s gothic tale has been the inspiration of numerous plays, films (the first in 1909) novels and short stories. Following a distinguished career as a civil servant, James Hogarth acquired a reputation as a versatile and punctilious translator. His translations span travel guides, archaeological texts, and novels. In 2002 he won the French-American Foundation Translation Prize for his English translation of Victor Hugo’s Travailleurs de la Mer. He died in 2006.

Ursus arctos middendorffi, the great bears of the North, are said to grow exceptionally large on the remote island of Kodiak, Alaska. Their species unperturbed for more than 10000 years and allowed to thrive. We like to think we've captured some of this grizzled spirit with this medium full framed offering. Assimilating compact modern design with a slight nod to the classics, the Kodiak is a fitting key player in our line.
