Two and a half years later, Rheticus was still there, fascinated by what he was discovering, but largely engaged in trying to convince Copernicus to publish his masterwork--\u003ci\u003eDe revolutionibus\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eOn the Revolutions of the Heavens\u003c\/i\u003e), the first book to posit that the sun was the center of the universe. That he was finally able to do so just as Copernicus was dying became a turning point for science and civilization. That he then went on to a legendary career of his own--he founded the field of trigonometry, for example--will be one of the many surprises in this eye-opening book, which will restore Rheticus to his rightful place in the history of science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Walker Books","offers":[{"title":"First Copernican: Georg Joachim Rheticus and the Rise of the Copernican Revolution | Dennis Danielson | Hardcover | 9780802715302 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks H 1769403","offer_id":49518283358360,"sku":"1769403","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71jvS3E8sHL.jpg?v=1784619718","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/first-copernican-georg-joachim-rheticus-and-the-rise-of-the-copernican-revolution","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
