A brilliant thinker, Galileo relied upon empirical evidence to further the world's understanding of the planets, motion, and general science. Hounded by the Catholic Church, he nevertheless continued to write after his house arrest in his final years, leaving a legacy of mathematical brilliance to the next generation. With photographs, quotes, illustrations and a running timeline, this is a thorough look into the life of a woman who broke through the barriers in her life. 64 pages, indexed, softcover.
