About this Item
Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Foxing to edges. Pages unmarked. "In the spring of 1543, as astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus lay on his deathbed, his fellow clerics brought him a long-awaited 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, is the center of the universe, is recognized as one of the most influential scientific works of all time - thanks in part to astro-physicist Owen Gingerich.".
