About this product

Product Information

Galileo Galilei (Italian) 15 February 1564[4] - 8 January 1642), often kwn as Galileo, was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astromer, and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astromical observations and support for Copernicanism. Galileo has been called the father of modern observational astromy, the father of modern physics, the father of science, and the Father of Modern Science. His contributions to observational astromy include the telescopic confirmation of the phases of Venus, the discovery of the four largest satellites of Jupiter (named the Galilean moons in his hor), and the observation and analysis of sunspots. Galileo also worked in applied science and techlogy, inventing an improved military compass and other instruments. Galileo's championing of heliocentrism was controversial within his lifetime, when most subscribed to either geocentrism or the Tychonic system. He met with opposition from astromers, who doubted heliocentrism due to the absence of an observed stellar parallax.[9] The matter was investigated by the Roman Inquisition in 1615, and they concluded that it could be supported as only a possibility, t an established fact. Galileo later defended his views in Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, which appeared to attack Pope Urban VIII and thus alienated him and the Jesuits, who had both supported Galileo up until this point. He was tried by the Inquisition, found vehemently suspect of heresy, forced to recant, and spent the rest of his life under house arrest. It was while Galileo was under house arrest that he wrote one of his finest works, Two New Sciences, in which he summarized the work he had done some forty years earlier, on the two sciences w called kinematics and strength of materials. This is a unabridged illustrated detailed biography of his life, works and his death.
