About This Item
New York: Walker and Company, 2006. Book. New. Hardcover. First American. 8vo. First American edition. 8vo. Hard cover binding, 264 pp. "What we now call the Copernican Revolution started with an army of one solitary soldier-Georg Joachim Rheticus. After the death of Copernicus, Rheticus himself became a celebrated scientist and teacher, until his self-destructive lifestyle robbed him of his possessions and his university position. In an uncanny repetition of history, Rheticus was rescued by a young man who sought him as a mentor, just as Rheticus had sought out Copernicus years before. Dennis Danielson tells this pivotal story in the history of ideas with authority, compassion, and excitement." -Dava Sobel . New in new dust jacket..
