Product Description

Morning Star, 9th July, 2001

This book contains a wealth of detail [and] is an ideal introduction to Copernicus.

Product Description

Copernicus sowed the seed from which science has grown to be a dominant aspect of modern culture, fundamental in shaping our understanding of the workings of the cosmos. John Henry reveals why Copernicus was led to such a seemingly outrageous and inplausible idea as a swiftly moving Earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, 18 May 2001

By	Flynn77 (London, England) - See all my reviews

This book takes the theme of Copernicus and turns an average science lesson into an enthralling story about one man's fight against traditional thinking. A must read....excellent!! I lost a good night's sleep reading this.
