Summary

Summary

With the enthralling style that made Longitude and Galileo's Daughter international best-sellers, Dava Sobel paints an unforgettable portrait of the Copernican Revolution. Encouraged by his German protege, Polish cleric Nicolaus Copernicus published his heliocentric model of the universe, tantalizing 16th-century mathematicians and scientists-and triggering a groundswell of opposition.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Ms. Sobel is an elegant stylist, a riveting and efficient storyteller, a writer who can bring the dustiest of subjects to full-blooded life — poignant, in the case of Galileo; cautious but also loving, loyal and feisty in the case of Copernicus.” —New York Times
“A thoroughly researched and eminently readable account of a major scientist who celebrated the sun yet lurks in the shadows.” —Wall Street Journal
“A liquid entertainment of choice passages on the thoughts and deeds of Copernicus.” —Kirkus
