An excellent new book by Donald Benson: The Ballet of the Planets.
Discusses the history of our understanding of planetary movement from earth-centered to sun-centered. Beautiful diagrams illustrate how the seemingly strange movements of planets across the sky were interpreted.
Highly recommended as an introduction to our solar system.
