Rheticus - Jean M. Murray
CHF 41,95 inkl. MwSt
What drives a man, born into the shadows of a medieval worldview, to challenge the heavens themselves? Georg Joachim Rheticus, student of Nicolaus Copernicus and pioneer of modern astronomy, dared to question the cosmic order and champion a vision of the universe that forever changed humanity's understanding of its place among the stars.In Rheticus: Astronomical Visionary and His Quest for Truth, Jean M. Murray takes readers on a captivating journey through the life of a man whose unyielding pursuit of knowledge led him from the mountains of Austria to the epicenters of intellectual revolution. From the hardships of his early life, marked by family scandal and religious upheaval, to his pivotal role as the first advocate of the heliocentric model, this book paints the portrait of a scholar who reshaped the boundaries of knowledge.More than a biography, this is a celebration of science, courage, and the power of vision-a story of a young mathematician who stood beside one of history's greatest thinkers and raised his voice in the revolutionary chorus that laid the foundation for modern astronomy.Discover the remarkable tale of a man who not only observed the stars but redefined them.Let me know if there's anything you'd like to adjust!
