His discoveries as they came, could not be denied. Because of his years of study in the arts and humanities, Galileo was well prepared to bring his ideas into the light of day. This biography will introduce students to life during the Italian Renaissance, the church's opposition to Galileo, his controversial theories, his trial, and more! 50 pages, softcover.
