Description & Specifications

The impressive story of the Copernican Revolution, narrated through the words of the pioneering scientists who instigated it. In the late 15th century, it was believed that the earth was stationary at the center of a small, ordered universe. Just over two centuries later, everything had changed. Not only was the sun at the center of creation, but the entire practice of science had been overturned. This is the story of this remarkable transformation, told through the words of the astronomers and mathematicians who were at its heart. It combines excerpts from the works and letters of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, Newton, and others for the first time. The Dawn of Modern Cosmology is the definitive record of one of the key milestones in human history.
