""The Gradual Acceptance of the Copernican Theory of the Universe"" is a historical account of the scientific revolution that took place in the 16th and 17th centuries, particularly the acceptance of the heliocentric model of the solar system proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus. Written by Dorothy Stimson in 1917, the book explores the various factors that led to the gradual acceptance of this new theory, including the work of Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler, as well as the influence of religion and politics. Stimson also examines the resistance and opposition faced by Copernicanism, both from the scientific community and from the Church. This book provides valuable insight into the history of science and the evolution of scientific thought, as well as the social and cultural context in which these ideas emerged.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
