What reading level is The World Machine the First Phase the Cosmic Mechanism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Twenty years before him, a Roman Catholic priest, in an obscure corner of Poland, had begun upon a work that, by a favouring accident, was destined to accomplish a greater revolution in the thoughts of men than any single volume before or since. Nicolaus Coppernik's book on the Revolution of the Heavens did not see the light until the year and near the day of his death that is, in 1543. In his dedication he records that he had been at work upon it for nearly forty years. He was a fearless think...er, but doubtless he loved his peace of mind, and Europe was then a vast holocaust of heretics. The papal Inquisition had been established when Coppernicus was a boy ; Llorente, its historian, figures that in eighteen years Torquemada and his collaborators had burned ten thousand victims, and tortured and punished a hundred thousand more. Coppernicus dedicated his book to the Pope ; he had been an instructor in mathematics at Rome, his uncle was a bishop, and his feeling about the sort of criticism his book would meet is shown well enough in the lines that preface this chapter.
