This is the deeply moving personal story of a man who, over four hundred years ago, defied the thinkers of his day and inspired one of the great revolutions in human though.

Simply written in non-technical language, this informative book will delight everyone interested in Astronomy as well as those who are eager to understand the development of modern science.
