Description:
Galileo is one of the most renowned of all scientists, not only for his many astonishing discoveries but for his bravery in expounding them. His Dialogue masterfully -- and wittily -- demonstrates that the earth revolves around the sun, flouting what were then the teachings of the all-powerful Catholic Church. Following its publication in 1632, he was hauled before the Inquisition and placed under lifetime house arrest. But the Dialogue survived, and its influence is incalculable. It is not only one of the most important scientific treatises ever written, but a work of supreme clarity and accessibility, remaining as readable now as when it was first published. This edition includes an introduction by Albert Einstein, and a new foreword by Professor J. L. Heilbron.
