Seller's Description:
Near Fine. Book Octavo, softcover. near fine in mustard pictorial wraps. Galileo, the brilliant astronomer, physicist, ~ A mathematician, who insisted the earth revolved around the sun was disgraced, imprisoned, and repressed by the Church. In this book he symbolizes the new age suffering at the hands of the ignorant past. Author suggests the timing at the end of 17th C. is to blame for Galileo's woes. 371 pp. including index.
Incredible detail. Galileo pushed his luck twice and got away with it once. It�s not that his science was wrong: it�s that he flaunted in the face of many warnings when there alternative ways to publish (e.g. in Venice).
What happened to him is cruel, but he was hardly a martyr!
