PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-The Book Nobody Read: Chasing the Revolutions of Nicolaus Copernicus

In the spring of 1543 as the celebrated astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus lay on his death bed his fellow clerics brought him a longawaited package the final printed pages of the book he had worked on for many years De revolutionibus On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres Though Copernicus would not live to hear of its extraordinary impact his book which first suggested that the Sun not the Earth was the center of the universe is today recognized as one of the most influential scientific works of all timethanks in part to astrophysicist Owen GingerichFour and a half centuries after its initial publication Gingerich embarked on an epic quest to see in person all extant copies of the first and second editions of De revolutionibus He was inspired by two contradictory pieces of information Arthur Koestlers claim in his bookThe Sleepwalkers that nobody had read Copernicuss book when it was published and Gingerichs discovery in Edinburgh of a first edition richly annotated in the margins by the leading teacher of astronomy in Europe in the 1540s If one copy had been so quickly appreciated Gingerich reasoned perhaps others were as welland perhaps they could throw new light on a hinge point in the history of astronomyAfter three decades of investigation and after traveling hundreds of thousands of miles across the globefrom Melbourne to Moscow Boston to BeijingGingerich has written an utterly original book built on his experience and the remarkable insights gleaned from examining some 600 copies of De revolutionibus He found the books owned and annotated by Galileo Kepler and many other lesserknown astronomers whom he brings back to life which illuminate the long reluctant process of accepting the Suncentered cosmos and highlight the historic tensions between science and the Catholic Church He traced the ownership of individual copies through the hands of saints heretics scalawags and bibliomaniacs He was called as the expert witness in the theft of one copy witnessed the dramatic auction of another and proves conclusively that De revolutionibus was as inspirational as it was revolutionaryPart biography of a book part scientific exploration part bibliographic detective story The Book Nobody Read recolors the history of cosmology and offers new appreciation of the enduring power of an extraordinary book and its ideas. In his cosmology, Bruno followed Lucretius and Copernicus, but he developed the implications of the Copernican system much further than Copernicus himself had done (indeed, Copernicus really didn't do much at all.

Copernicus is responsible for spreading the theory that the Earth revolves around the Sun, not the other way around.. Heliocentric model – the Sun is the center of the Universe. Avoiding the wrath of the Church. Copernicus published an early description of this model in 1530 in a private manuscript but full publication was delayed until 1543 to avoid the wrath of the Church. Remember that Capella’s model was published in 1537. Laura Newland\'s generation has worked the hardest to gain admission to elite colleges and paid the most to attend. But when Newland left her Alabama hometown and arrived at Duke University, she found a liberal arts campus unlike anything depicted in those glossy guidebooks. The hypercompetitive battle for internships begins freshman year, and the economic pressures-student loans, the daunting cost of graduate degrees, high unemployment-are relentless. This perfect storm, brewing on campuses across the country, has fueled a Wall Street recruiting machine that is winning over the best and the brightest. In no time, Newland was seduced. From Newland\'s turbulent four years comes a provocative story of the higher education industry the tension between ambition and indebtedness, privilege and purpose and one student\'s journey to make sense of it all.
