| Synopsis: |
Einstein called him the father of modern physics, and this guide introduces the life, discoveries and inventions of Galileo in layman's terms to give the reader an understanding of the man and his place in modern scientific thought. The breadth of Galileo's achievements is impressive - ranging from the invention of an early thermometer to the discovery of moons around Jupiter. It is in the field of astronomy that he is best remembered and this is considered in the context of the contemporary Aristotelian view of the universe and the conflicting theories of Copernicus. |
