This 17th-century natural philosopher is often credited with the invention of the telescope thanks to his many discoveries using that specific instrument, and though he was not, in fact, its inventor, the myth still persists. Indeed, Galileo was responsible for a series of upgrades to astronomy's brand-new tool during the early part of the 1600s, and it was largely his innovative techniques that changed a somewhat mediocre magnifying glass into a revolutionary device.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e He was also the first to use his powerful telescope to look at the Moon, planets, and stars and discover just how much there truly was out there beyond the realm of ocean, land, and clouds. His observations of the solar system were the first of their kind, and they helped cement a theory that had been appearing and disappearing from European philosophy for centuries: that the Earth was not the center of the universe.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Galileo published his theories regardless of the danger and struggled to deal with the repercussions of doing so. His amazing career was characterized by a tenuous balance between publishing the truth of his discoveries and maintaining good relationships with the people in power. Like so many other great people of that age, Galileo was born not far from Florence, Italy, making him a product of the continent's foremost trendsetter during the Renaissance and Scientific Revolution.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eGalileo Galilei: A Captivating Guide to an Italian Astronomer, Physicist, and Engineer and His Impact on the History of Science\u003c\/em\u003e, you will discover topics such as\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Stargazer Is Born\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGalileo Studies with Florentine Monks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe University of Pisa\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGalileo Calculates the Location of Hell\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProfessor at the University of Pisa\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUniversity of Padua\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Catholic Inquisition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKepler's Star\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGalileo and Johannes Kepler\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Starry Messenger\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGalileo Meets Pope Paul V\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Inquisition Visits Again\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscourse on the Tides\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Meeting with Pope Urban VIII\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Assayer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTrial and Imprisonment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFinal Work and Death\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo if you want to learn more about Galileo Galilei, scroll up and click the \"add to cart\" button \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 05, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51792419684640,"sku":"9781950924349","price":10.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/70c88b9630ccfb868d1dd2b73a9f1626.webp?v=1780700854","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/galileo-galilei-a-captivating-guide-to-an-italian-astronomer-physicist-and-engineer-and-his-impact-on-the-history-of-science-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
