Review:
The Sleepwalkers is a valuable and provocative book . . . a work with a noble aim (Sunday Times)
The greatest part of this massive work is a close and valuable study of Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, Kepler, and Galileo . . . He writes tensely, with passion, as though personally involved, about events that took place more than 300 years ago (The Times)
