  Nicolaus Copernicus: The Life...

  Today, Nicolaus Copernicus is remembered as the scientific innovator who championed the heliocentric model with the Sun at the center of the solar system, but it’s often forgotten that the risk of openly rebutting the longstanding beliefs and teachings of medieval mathematicians and the Church compelled him to only publish his theories near the end of his life. Through years of careful observation and mathematical analysis, he had become convinced that many of the discrepancies of traditional astronomy could be solved if the Sun, rather than Earth, occupied the central position. In his model, Earth was simply another planet moving around the Sun while also rotating on its axis.  
  	This seemingly simple change carried enormous implications, because if Earth was in motion, then humanity’s world was no longer the fixed center of the cosmos. In the same vein, the development of this theory required extraordinary intellectual courage, not only because the heliocentric model contradicted centuries of accepted authority, but because many theologians had embraced the geocentric worldview. Anyone who challenged the geocentric model would run afoul of the Church, which was still the most powerful authority in Europe, as Galileo Galilei would find out decades after Copernicus’ death.  
  	As a result, Copernicus proceeded cautiously, refining his ideas over decades rather than rushing them into print. His reluctance reflected both scholarly perfectionism and an awareness of the controversy his work might provoke. Eventually, he completed one of the most important scientific texts ever published, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres), which systematically presented his heliocentric model and offered detailed mathematical arguments in its defense. Copernicus’ work is now considered so important to the development of modern science that some historians have even described the era as the “Copernican Revolution.”

  “I was skeptical. Another ‘relaxation audio’. But this one is different. It’s like your whole nervous system just exhales. I drift off in under 10 minutes now. That used to take hours.”

  “It’s like someone composed a sleep experience just for me. I used to wake up 3–4 times a night. Now I wake up once – and sometimes not at all. If sleep had a soundtrack, this would be it.”

  On the Boardwalk

  A memoir from the writer of BENT with a foreword by Ian McKellen
  Sherman takes us on a journey through America in the mid twentieth century, starting in New Jersey – where he was born in the 1930s to a Jewish immigrant family – ending on Broadway with the premier of his seminal play Bent starring Richard Gere. On route, we encounter other famous performers including Meryl Streep, Bee Gees, Joan Baez, but the scene-stealing character is always his father – a charismatic narcissist who might have given Trump a run for his money. We stop off in Woodstock, Los Angeles and London – a city Martin would eventually make home; he relays his story with self-depreciating humour as he struggles to make it in theatre, with his sexuality, and under the shadow of the inheritable disease that killed his mother tragically early – a disease from which he finds himself finally free, as he turns forty in the book's closing pages.
  
  "As in his plays, Martin Sherman writes here of complexity with simplicity, of the hidden with utter candour. A fascinating and brilliant example of what a memoir ought to be."—ALAN CUMMING
  "Most shove childhood memories into the recesses of forgetfulness, while others gather each detail like colours in a paint box and use them to create. We call those folks artists. Martin Sherman is such a creature. Within these pages you will find his painterly application of memories, fashioning a masterwork of experiences for us to enjoy."—HARVEY FIERSTEIN
  "Absolutely mesmerising and so fantastically well written that I wish Martin Sherman had written novels as well as plays and screenplays"—STEPHEN FRY
  "Completely absorbing and funny and sad and beautifully told—a real treat and an extraordinary story—what a life."—IAN HISLOP
  "One Hell of a ride. Profound, witty, beautifully written and difficult to forget."—HUGH JACKMAN
  "This memoir is astounding. I'm reading it a second time."—VANESSA REDGRAVE
  "A volume filled with moving, entertaining and fascinating memories, by one of our great stage and screen writers."—PETER TATCHELL
  "On the Boardwalk is full of audacity and joyfulness, jokes and tears, it blew my mind, as it will blow yours." – PETE TOWNSHEND
  "He writes like Philip Roth—but even funnier."—RUBY WAX
