Описание: This book traces the careers of Athanasius Kircher and Galileo Galilei, reviewing Kircher`s work translating hieroglyphs, developing sundials and even preceding Darwin in suggesting that animal species evolve, and Galileo`s on scales, telescopes and sun spots.
Описание: William A. Wallace demonstrates the importance of two early manuscripts of Galileo dismissed by earlier researchers as juvenile exercises. Analyzing all his scientific writings from the late 1580s to 1610 and from 1610 to 1640, this book illuminates both the sources and the evolution of Galileo`s thought. Originally published in 1984. The Princet

Описание: This book is intended as a historical and critical study on the origin of the equations of motion as established in Newton`s Principia. The central question that it aims to answer is whether it is indeed correct to ascribe to Galileo the inertia principle and the law of falling bodies.

Описание: In a startling reinterpretation of the evidence, Stillman Drake advances the hypothesis that Galileo`s trial and condemnation by the Inquisition was caused not by his defiance of the Church, but by the hostility of contemporary philosophers.

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: 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: Presents a history of modern physics, as seen through the lives of thirty men and women from the pantheon of physics such as Galileo, Albert Einstein, and Stephen Hawking. This title also offers portraits of their great moments of discovery, their bitter feuds, their relations with family and friends, their religious beliefs, and education.
