""Copernicus"" by Elbert Hubbard is a biography of the famous Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. The book explores Copernicus' life, his childhood, education, and his work as a mathematician and astronomer. It also delves into his groundbreaking theory of the heliocentric model of the solar system, which challenged the widely accepted belief in the geocentric model. Hubbard provides a detailed account of Copernicus' struggles to gain acceptance for his theory and the impact it had on the scientific community. The book also touches upon the political and religious climate of the time, which made it difficult for Copernicus to publish his revolutionary ideas. Overall, ""Copernicus"" is an insightful and engaging biography of a man who changed the course of scientific history.THIS 44 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great: Scientists, by Elbert Hubbard.
