For centuries historians, scientists, journalists, and playwrights have speculatedsometimes wildlyabout Galileo's infamous encounter with the Roman Catholic Church. In their compelling critique of these efforts, Shea and Artigas draw on old and new evidence to try to set the record straight, regardless of whose toes they might be stepping on.
