'Philosophy is written in this great book which is continually open before our        eyes - I mean the universe...'Galileo's astronomical discoveries changed the way we        look at the world, and our place in the universe. Threatened by the Inquisition for        daring to contradict the literal truth of the Bible, Galileo ignited a scientific        revolution when he asserted that the Earth moves. This generous selection from his        writings contains all the essential texts for a reader to appreciate his lasting        significance. Mark Davie's new translation renders Galileo's vigorous Italian prose        into clear modern English,while William R. Shea's version of the Latin Sidereal        Message makes accessible the book that created a sensation in 1610 with its account        of Galileo's observations using the newly invented telescope.All Galileo's        contributions to the debate on science and religion are included, as well as key        documents from his trial before the Inquisition in 1633. A lively introduction and        clear notes give an overview of Galileo's career and explain the scientific and        philosophical background to the texts.
