Inside the Stargazer's Palace: The Transformation of Science in 16th-Century Europe, (Audiobook)

<p><b>Enter the mysterious world of sixteenth-century science, where astronomers and alchemists shared laboratories.</b><br><br> In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus declared the earth revolved around the Sun, overturning centuries of scholastic presumption. A new age was coming into view--one guided by observation, technology and logic.<br><br> But omens and elixirs did not disappear from the sixteenth-century laboratory. Charms and potions could still be found nestled between glistening brass instruments and leather-bound tomes. The line between the natural and supernatural remained porous, yet to be defined.<br><br> From the icy Danish observatory of Tycho Brahe, to the smoky, sulphur-stained workshop of John Dee, Violet Moller tours the intellectual heart of early European science. Exploring its rich, multidisciplinary culture, <i>Inside the Stargazer's Palace</i> reveals a dazzling forgotten world, where all knowledge, no matter how arcane, could be pursued in good faith.</p>
