Galileo's groundbreaking dialogues are a summation of three decades
of scientific work he had undertaken in the fledgling field of
physics. This edition includes the diagrams crucial for
understanding the text. Writing these dialogues in 1638, the
elderly Galileo had a life of achievements behind him. Despite
attempts at suppression of his writings by the Roman Inquisition,
his ideas were successfully communicated across Europe. The motion
of objects and resistance to such motion, the concept of velocity,
and the laws of gravity are merely a few of the topics covered in
these detailed dialogues. At the outset, we are introduced to the
three conversation partners: Salviati, Sagredo and Simplicio. These
three Venetians embark on a scientific discussion, hoping to
explain the curiosities of things such as speed and movement. Over
the course of four days, their meetings grow in complexity and
scope as they strive to explain physical phenomena.
