Gallileo Galilei was one of history's greatest and most fascinating scientists. He made stunning discoveries in astronomy and physics, but he is best known for being an early victim of science denial. Astrophysicist and bestselling author Mario Livio draws on his own scientific expertise to provide captivating insights into how Galileo reached his bold new conclusions about the cosmos and the laws of nature, before being put on trial with his life in the balance for refusing to renounced his scientific convictions. He remains a hero and inspiration to scientists and all those who respect science-which, as Livio reminds us in this important book, continues to be threatened today. Book jacket.
