The Book Nobody Read
The Book Nobody Read
    1543 saw the publication
    of one of the most
    significant scientific
    works ever written: De
    revolutionibus (On the
    Revolutions of the
    Heavenly Spheres), in
    which Nicolaus Copernicus
    presented a radically
    different structure of
    the cosmos by placing the
    sun, and not the earth,
    at the centre of the
    universe. But did anyone
    take notice? Harvard
    astrophysicist Owen
    Gingerich was intrigued
    by the bold claim made by
    Arthur Koestler in his
    bestselling The
    Sleepwalkers that
    sixteenth-century Europe
    paid little attention to
    the groundbreaking, but
    dense, masterpiece.
    Gingerich embarked on a
    thirty-year odyssey to
    examine every extant copy
    to prove Koestler
    wrong-Logging thousands
    of hours and hundreds of
    thousands of miles
    Gingerich uncovered a
    treasure trove of
    material on the life of a
    book and the evolution of
    an idea. His quest led
    him to copies once owned
    by saints, heretics,
    and scallywags, by
    musicians and movie
    stars; some easily
    accessible, others
    almost lost to time,
    politics and the black
    market. Part biography of
    a book and a man, part
    bibliographic and
    bibliophilic quest,
    Gingerich's The Book
    Nobody Read is an utterly
    captivating piece of
    writing, a testament to
    the power both of books
    and the love of books.

The Seashell On The Mountaintop: A Story of Science, Sainthood, and the Humble Genius who Discovered a New History of the Earth
The Seashell On The
Mountaintop: A Story Of
Science, Sainthood, And The
Humble Genius Who Discovered A
New History Of The Earth
    Dubbed ' the founder of
    modern geology' by
    Stephen Jay Gould, the
    17th century Danish
    scientist Nicolaus Steno
    was the first man to to
    suggest that the
    existence of fossils
    demanded a much longer
    history for the earth
    than the roughly six
    thousand years suggested
    by the Bible. Steno's
    work was ignored for over
    a century; he himself
    dropped his geological
    studies; he converted to
    Catholicism and later
    became a bishop; in 1988
    he was beatified by the
    Pope. Alan Cutler tells
    the story of this
    passionate and
    fascinating man,
    exploring his remarkable
    ideas on science and
    religion and the way his
    work was eventually to
    transform Western ideas
    of time. Steno's
    influence was enormous;
    Cutler's book is the
    first to give him his
    due, and to set him
    alongside Copernicus,
    Galileo and Darwin.
