On Tycho's Island: Tycho Brahe, Science, and Culture in the Sixteenth Century Children's Superhero Comics and General Robert ETycho Brahe (1546 1601), the premier patron practitioner of science in sixteenth century Europe, established a new role of scientist as administrator, active reformer, and natural philosopher. This book explores his wide range of activities, which encompass much more than his reputed role of astronomer. Christianson broadens this singular perspective by portraying him as Platonic philosopher, Paracelsian chemist, Ovidian poet, and devoted family man.
