Copernicus and Modern Astronomy

by Josh Sakolsky

Nicolaus Copernicus's scientific discoveries turned the world on its end and pulled it out of the dark ages, beginning with his heliocentric theory, proving that the sun, and not the earth, was the center of the universe. This book follows Copernicus's life and work as he led the way for a torrent of new scientific understanding and the works of luminaries such as Galileo and Isaac Newton.
