More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Spanning Galileo's entire career, this new collection presents an annotated translation of Galileo's most important writings as judged by their historical impact from the seventeenth century to the present. It thus presents not only those writings that bear most closely on key developments in physics, astronomy, epistemology, and scientific methodology, but those most relevant to general culture as well, including writings on the relationship between science and religion.

Solid History and Documents of Galileo
18 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Essential Galileo takes the reader through some of Galileo's most important writings, as well as some of the critical documents pertaining to his trial. Readers will be gratified in coming to know some of the most influential writings that Galileo Galilei offered to the world. His achievements as a scientist, and his appreciation for how to read scripture must also be noted. Read this book, and a biography or book about Galileo's life and you should have a fairly firm grasp of Galileo. Certainly a book I recommend to those curious about the highlights of the famous Italian astronomers central accomplishments. (also I recommend "Galileo in Rome", but don't miss this book!)
