Galileo Observed: Science and the Politics of Belief

William R. Shea, "Galileo Observed: Science and the Politics of Belief"
English | ISBN: 0881353566 | 2006 | 224 pages | PDF | 13 MB

For centuries historians, scientists, journalists, and playwrights have speculated—sometimes wildly—about 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.
