en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 aug 2023
Galileo Galilei: The Biography of an Italian Astronomer, Physicist, and Father of Modern Science delves into the life and remarkable achievements of one of the greatest minds in scientific history. This book offers an in-depth exploration of Galileo's groundbreaking contributions to astronomy, physics, and the scientific method, as well as his tumultuous relationship with the Catholic Church. Born in Pisa, Italy, in 1564, Galileo Galilei's insatiable curiosity and intellectual prowess led him to unravel the mysteries of the universe. From his early studies on speed, velocity, and gravity to his revolutionary observations with the telescope, Galileo revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos. Through painstaking observations, he confirmed the phases of Venus, discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter, examined Saturn's enigmatic rings, and scrutinized the lunar craters and sunspots. However, Galileo's embrace of the Copernican heliocentric model, with Earth revolving around the Sun, challenged the prevailing geocentric worldview supported by the Catholic Church. His steadfast dedication to scientific truth put him on a collision course with the Inquisition and its rigid adherence to biblical interpretations. The book vividly recounts the dramatic events surrounding Galileo's trial, where he was accused of heresy and forced to recant his views under threat of severe punishment. Despite the oppression and confinement that followed, Galileo's genius continued to shine. From his place of house arrest, he penned his influential work, "Two New Sciences," which explored kinematics and the strength of materials. Galileo's ideas laid the foundation for modern physics, forever transforming our understanding of the natural world. "Galileo Galilei: The Biography of an Italian Astronomer, Physicist, and Father of Modern Science" captures the essence of Galileo's pioneering spirit, his unwavering pursuit of knowledge, and his impact on the scientific revolution. This meticulously researched biography not only illuminates Galileo's extraordinary achievements but also provides a nuanced examination of the societal and religious forces that shaped his life and legacy. It is a captivating journey through the life of a visionary genius who challenged the status quo and left an indelible mark on the course of human knowledge.
