 These titles are at various stages of completion, from planning to ready-to-typeset. They will appear in the Lion's good time, some sooner, some later. Please remember that although the Lion's caregivers work hard, there are only two of us, and each book is given an unusual amount of time, effort, and care in the design, editing, and production. For books on which we are working with other authors or translators, we give the authors or translators all the time they need to deliver a text with which they are completely happy, and we make changes at any stage to keep them happy. These labors of love must have their full gestation, and it's typically hard to predict what that gestation will be. 

Ptolemy Reader.  

Designed as a text for use in courses, it should also be of interest to anyone wishing access to selected and annotated source texts in ancient astronomy. The first draft of the translation is complete and being classroom-tested with students at St. Johnís College.

Howard J. Fisher, Maxwell's Treatise: The Central Argument

This book guides the reader through Maxwell's distinctive mathematical treatment of what he took to be the principal topics in electricity and magnetism. It identifies the central thrust of the argument in Maxwell's Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism, beginning with fundamental electrical and magnetic experiments and culminating in the electromagnetic theory of light. Howard Fisher's appreciative guidance explains the argument in Maxwell's own terms, instead of substituting the language of vector algebra in the conventional manner of textbooks. This guide offers its readers fresh access to Maxwell's rich and systematic thinking about electricity and magnetism, two of the most persistently fascinating areas of natural science.

Johannes Kepler, Astronomia Nova

Complete English translation by
William H. Donahue, Second Edition.

This is a new edition of Donahue's highly regarded translation of Kepler's greatest work, originally published by Cambridge University Press in 1992 and now out of print. The book is being newly laid out to bring its appearance closer to Kepler's magnificent Latin original, while still following Green Lion Press's exacting layout standards. An index, lacking in the Cambridge edition, will be added. No publication date is yet set, but we hope to have the book available in time for the four hundredth anniversary of the 1609 publication of the first edition.
