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)
About the Author:

Herbert Butterfield was an influencial historiographer born in 1900 in Yorkshire, England.

ARTHUR KOESTLER
ISBN 10: 0140192468 ISBN 13: 9780140192469
New Paper Back Quantity: 2
Seller:
Eighth Day Books, LLC
(Wichita, KS, U.S.A.)

Book Description Paper Back. Condition: New. A lively and personal history of cosmology from the Babylonians to Newton with emphasis upon the tragic and unnecessary estrangement of science and religion. Particularly interesting are the sections on Copernicus and Kepler. Many instructive lessons about the inertia of the human mind and its resistance to innovation as well as about the wild zig-zags science makes towards progress. Koestler is most provocative and at his humane and noble best when considering what science has lost in the aftermath of its divorce from faith: a sobering look at the progressive spiritual desiccation at the center of our modern world.
