This account of Copernicus' heliocentric planetary theory relates astronomy's historical background and provides a portrait of the man who clarified the basis for modern cosmology. An introduction traces the roots of the search for the laws of planetary motion, and sketches the astronomer's career against the stormy political background of his era. The heart of this book offers an exposition of Copernicus' epochal treatise, De Revolutionibus, and subsequent chapters explore the progress and development of his theory through its culmination in Newtonian philosophy and its transformation by the doctrine of relativity.
