Description

Like Michelangelo, Galileo is some other Renaissance great known simply by his first name–a name that may be synonymous with scientific achievement. Born in Pisa, Italy, within the sixteenth century, Galileo contributed to the era’s great rebirth of knowledge. He invented a telescope to watch the heavens. From there, not even the sky was once the limit! He turned long-held notions concerning the universe topsy turvy along with his fortify of a sun-centric solar system. Patricia Brennan Demuth offers a sympathetic portrait of a brilliant man who lived in a time when speaking scientific truth to these in power was once still a dangerous proposition.
