About this product

Product Information

In the spring of 1500, at the apex of the Renaissance, a papal secretary to the Borgia Pope, Alexander VI, wrote that All the world is in Rome. Though no one knew it at the time, this included a young scholar by the name of Nicolaus Copernicus who would one day change the world. One of the greatest polymaths of his or any age - linguist, lawyer, doctor, diplomat, politician, mathematician, scientist, astronomer, artist, cleric - Copernicus gave the world arguably the most important scientific discovery of the modern era: that earth and the planets revolve around the sun and that the earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours. His heliocentric theory and the discoveries that would follow ushered in the age of modern astronomy, often called the Copernican Age, and change the way we look at the universe forever. This brilliant and controversial belief - born of a fusion of the theories of the great scholars of antiquity and the knowledge of the medieval Islamic world - was immortalised in Copernicus' epic De revolutionibus orbium coelestium , a book whose very first printed copy was placed into his hands at the moment of his death in 1543.Here, for the first time, is a biography of Copernicus that not only describes his theories but the life of the man himself and the epic, thrilling times in which he lived.

I think this item (which was one of four bought at the same time as part of a special offer) had to be re-despatched. I told them it didn't arrive with the other books so they made arrangements to get it to me ASAP. They said it would be despatched within 48 hours and it was despatched within 24. I had it on my doorstep in 3 days, in very good condition as described. Very happy with the price and the service, highly recommended seller. Very professional.

A must read to understand the man, his origins and his place in history
I was looking for a book on Copernicus with which I could immerse myself in the period in which he lived and get some understanding of what made him tick. I'd already read something of De Revolutionibus previously but I wanted something that informed me of the man as well as the scientist. If you're of the same mind then you should get this book. The first several chapters set the seen for the period as well as covering ancient Greek systems which culminated in the geocentric model and the Almagest. We're introduced to the scholarly works that would have influenced young Copernicus and eventually are introduced to his early thoughts on the solar system. The major part of the book deals with his revolutionary axioms culminating in De Revolutionibus. Thankfully, the last few chapters also ...

We're introduced to the scholarly works that would have influenced young Copernicus and eventually are introduced to his early thoughts on the solar system. The major part of the book deals with his revolutionary axioms culminating in De Revolutionibus. Thankfully, the last few chapters also consider how Copernican theory affected those that came after, leading the reader into an appreciation of the work undertaken by Copernicus, Galileo, Brahe and Kepler without which we could possibly have a very different view of the cosmos today. The book covers a lot of detail and I did find that I had to put it down on occasions or re-read parts to avoid being overwhelmed with minutae. Perseverance is a virtue and the reward is a far better understanding of the science as it developed over a very interesting period of history.
