In the introduction to his book Great Astronomers, Robert Stawell Ball states, “The history of astronomy thus becomes inseparable from the history of the great men to whose labours its development is due.” Based on what you read in the Ptolemy section, how does Ball develop and refine this central idea in his book?

im taking test rn i give answers when im done bc i dont wanna give my answers and get you any wrong hold up : )

here's some tricks. write on a book that you have read and really enjoyed. first, start by writing down basic event in the book. have your first paragraph be an intro explaining like the author, the reason the book was written if known, and other backround info like that. paragraph two explain what happens in the first few chapters and the signifigance it had. then for paragraph 3, do the same thing but for the middle. i'm pretty sure you get the point for paragraph 4. just rap things up and explain the call to action. for the final paragragh (paragraph 5) , explain your views on the book, the message, ect. tip: something that might is to go onto cliff notes or something and read the anaylisis of each chapter.
