Galileos life is explored in depth, with a focus on his groundbreaking discoveries in astronomy, his defense of the heliocentric model, and the infamous trial and persecution he faced from the Catholic Church. Brewster paints Galileo as a visionary whose scientific beliefs ultimately led to his downfall, yet whose ideas changed the course of science forever.Tycho Brahes story, while less dramatic in terms of religious persecution, is equally compelling. Brewster discusses Brahes meticulous astronomical observations and his establishment of a state-of-the-art observatory in Denmark, emphasizing his contributions to the development of precise astronomical measurements that laid the foundation for Keplers later work.The final subject, Johannes Kepler, is portrayed as a brilliant mathematician who, despite personal hardships and financial struggles, formulated the laws of planetary motion that forever changed our understanding of the cosmos. Brewster explores Keplers perseverance and intellectual achievements, emphasizing his role in confirming the Copernican model and advancing mathematical astronomy.</p>...7096956The Martyrs of Science or The lives of Galileo Tycho Brahe and Kepler1919https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-martyrs-of-science-or-the-lives-of-galileo-tycho-brahe-and-kepler-9789370748996/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7074124/image.jpg?v=638810233404470000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259789370748996_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_<p>In this work, Brewster presents the scientists as "martyrs" to science, underscoring the sacrifices they made to advance human understanding of the universe.
