Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.7MB
Overview: Using her deep knowledge, her skills as a storyteller, and her imagination, Dava Sobel illuminates one of history’s most significant and far-reaching meetings. In the spring of 1539, a young German mathematician–Georg Joachim Rheticus–journeyed hundreds of miles to northern Poland to meet the legendary, elderly cleric and reluctant astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. Some two decades earlier, Copernicus had floated the mind-boggling theory that the Sun, not the Earth, was stationary at the center of the universe, and he was rumored to have crafted a book that could prove it. Though exactly what happened between them can never be known, Rheticus shepherded Copernicus’s great work into production and De revolutionibus orbium coelestium ultimately changed the course of human understanding.
