As optics improved, man began to see the solar system. Tycho Brahe in Denmark,
Nicolaus Copernicus of Poland, Johannes Kepler of Germany, and Italy's Galileo Galilei all began
to see a new relationship between the world and the stars. Their questions, and their non-religious
answers, toppled the idea that manand the Churchare at the center of the universe.
The Science and Discovery series recreates history's four-thousand-year journey of scientific progress.
Science has often challenged and upset conventional wisdom. This is a story of vested interests and
independent thinkers, experiments and theories, change and progress. Aristotle, Copernicus, Kepler,
Galileo, Newton, Darwin, and Einstein all make appearances.

enjoy a good audiobook, instead of renting a dvd or stagnating in
front of the television. Unlike rentals, they can be kept for life
and enjoyed again and again.
