Publisher's Synopsis
The Gradual Acceptance Of The Copernican Theory Of The Universe is a book written by Dorothy Stimson in 1917. The book explores the history of the Copernican theory, which suggests that the sun is the center of the universe and the Earth and other planets orbit around it. Stimson discusses the gradual acceptance of this theory by scientists and the general public, as well as the resistance and controversy it faced during its early stages. The book provides a detailed account of the scientific discoveries and advancements that led to the eventual acceptance of the Copernican theory, including the work of Galileo, Kepler, and Newton. Stimson also delves into the social and religious implications of the theory, as it challenged the traditional belief that the Earth was the center of the universe and humankind's special place within it. The Gradual Acceptance Of The Copernican Theory Of The Universe is a fascinating historical account of a pivotal moment in the history of science and human understanding of the universe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
