Defending Copernicus and Galileo: Critical Reasoning in the Two Affairs
ISBN: 9789048132003 / Angielski / Twarda / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The book argues that the Copernican... Although recent works on Galileo's trial have reached new heights of erudition, documentation, and sophistication, they often exhibit inflated comp... |
