Description:

This book explores the relationship between the sciences and both local and international politics.

Reading this book will take you through the 15th and 16th centuries, exploring what was happening on the world stage between Copernicus and Newton and how that affected how astronomy was conducted.

The actual events, key players, and their views show a very complex and intriguing development of astronomy that didn't lead to an immediate uptake of Heliocentrism, albeit also resulting in an uptake that was premature.

About the Author

Michal J A Paszkiewicz

Michal, a proud Pole born and raised in England, navigates life with a passion for an eclectic range of interests, from Transport to Moths to the History of Astronomy. His boundless curiosity has led him to author The Perfect Transport, drawing on years of expertise in the transport software industry. Ever the self-learner, Michal even taught himself Latin to translate the 17th-century astronomer Giovanni Battista Riccioli's Almagestum Novum, the monumental work that named the Moon's craters. When not immersed in work or literature, Michal enjoys nothing more than taking his children on fossil-hunting adventures, sharing with them the joy of discovery.
