Review by Horn Book Review

This succinct biography discusses the life of Copernicus, the sixteenth-century scholar, cleric, and physician whose greatest interest was astronomy. Fradin clearly explains how Copernicus came to the then-heretical conclusion--later confirmed by Galileo and Isaac Newton--that the earth is a planet that orbits the sun. Von Buhler's oil paintings have a classic quality well suited to the text. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
