Yes. Reading that at the moment.
The Kepler and Copernicus books are the product of meticulous research and do the author credit. They focus mainly on the “life and times” of the subjects rather than their discoveries, theories and great achievements in science. While I would like to have more of those elements and fewer of squabbles among churches and churchmen, I still credit the author for insights into their lives and daily tribulations.
