Combined in this volume are two works by Aristotle, On the Heavens and On Generation and Corruption. The first work, On the Heavens is Aristotle's cosmological treatise, in which Aristotle details his astronomical theories. The second work, On Generation and Corruption, is a work of science philosophy.
