Описание: Galileo`s scientific achievements were largely based on and influenced by his activities as an engineer and the practical knowledge he shared from this context, first in Florence, then in Padua and finally again in Florence. After an extensive analysis of the recently grounded historical category of "engineer-scientist," such a category is applied to Galileo, too. The result is that he belonged to the tradition of those theory-oriented practical mathematicians, who, challenged by the practical knowledge, approached it by making use of mathematical means and, in doing so, generated new scientific knowledge. After an analysis of Galileo`s early education, the work establishes and analyses Galileo`s main fields of practical activities; his contributions to the art of building and evaluating machines, mathematical and optical instruments; his activities related to the work of the artillerists and of the military architects; his connections to the Venetian Arsenal and his involvement in the fields of pneumatics and thermoscopics. The work is based on primary sources and, among these, Galileo`s correspondence plays a major role. All of the letters that are particularly relevant for the understanding of Galileo as an Engineer have been translated in English for the first time and appended to this work.

Описание: Galileo`s trial over his theories on the Earth`s motion ended with his condemnation by the Inquisition. This book judiciously compares and contrasts that trial and the subsequent controversy over the rightness of that condemnation continuing to our day.

Описание: "I, Galileo, son of the late Vincenzio Galilei, Florentine, aged seventy years ...kneeling before you Most Eminent and Reverend Lord Cardinals ...I abjure, curse, detest the aforesaid errors and heresies."Galileo Galilei in Rome, 22 June 1633, before the men of the Inquisition.In the small village of Arcetri, on a wooded hillside just south of Florence, an old man sat writing his will. He had to make a journey to Rome and wanted to be prepared for every eventuality. If the plague did not get him on the road, the strain of travelling might finish him off; in addition he had been ill most of the autumn, with dizziness, stomach pains and a serious hernia. And even if he survived these difficulties, and the cold winter wind from the Apennines did not give him pneumonia, he had no idea what awaited him in Rome, only that his arrival was unlikely to be celebrated with a special mass.

Описание: The publication in 1632 of Galileo?s Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems, Ptolemaic and Copernican marked a crucial moment in the `scientific revolution? and the origin of modern science. The Dialogue contains Galileo?s synthesis of astronomy, physics, and methodology, and its conclusions led Galileo to stand trial for denying the scientific authority of Scripture. For some this marked the start of the religion vs science debate which continues to this day. In this guidebook, Maurice Finocchiaro introduces and assesses:The key arguments and analysis that Galileo presents on both sides of the `dialogue?Galileo?s unique style of analysis, critical reasoning and rhetoricThe lasting significance of the Dialogue and the Galileo affair

Описание: Galileo is aptly known as `the father of modern science`. But there is much more to him than his well-known discoveries in physics and astronomy, and his infamous clash with the Catholic church. John Heilbron`s wonderfully rounded new biography presents a multi-talented but difficult man - writer, philosopher, scientist, musician, and artist.
