Description
This title provides a brief history of ancient understandings of the earth placement and role within the universe and how three brilliant minds questioned this common logic. Set in chronological order from Copernicus to Galileo, readers will witness a rich history in scientific discovery as each observer of the stars builds upon previously known truths. Each will undergo their own trials and burden. Parents, please note that Bruno is considered the first martyr of science, and this is depicted in the graphic novel. The ending pages have content regarding astronomy, the planets, space exploration and rocket-men. 92 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
Publisher's Description of They Changed the World: Copernicus-Bruno-Galileo

Learn the life stories of these three great minds, their great breakthroughs, right to their final years. This story is about science and religion. About brave individuals vs a powerful institution. But ultimately, it’s about mankind as a species learning to grow up. Like a child must one day learn that it’s not the most important thing in the world, humanity had to learn its own small place in the vast universe.
