Book Reviews of On The Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres (On the Shoulders of Giants)
Book Review: Keep your perspective on this seminal work
Summary: 5 Stars
I greatly enjoyed reading this timeless classic, but I believe I had a different purpose when I added it to my extensive library of scientific tomes. My objective was to transport myself back in time and imagine what life was like in a world that contemplated a universe that was so incompletely conceived. In short, Copernicus is a generous contributor to the intellectual dowry of mankind and this work is his testament to the creativity of our species. Regardless of your opinion of this specific edition, its impact reverberates to this day.
