5.0

I love this book. I kept coming across Giordano Bruno while reading astronomy books. Everybody should read this book. Bruno's story should never be forgotten.

misneach's review against another edition

4.0

The church has built its empire with ashes and ignorance of devotees.

Great minds lost, yet their words and thoughts and musings manage to stay alive.

Proof that ideas, knowledge and bravery are stronger than the evil of and the thirst of religions for power.

I was expecting a bit more from this book, yet I wasn't disappointed per se.
