This new scientific biography explores the influences on, and of,
Galileo's exceptional work, thereby revealing novel connections
with the worldviews of his age and beyond. Galileo Galilei's
contribution to science is unquestionable. And his conflict with
the church establishment of his time is no less famous. In this
book, authored by a physicist and history scholar, Galileo's life
and work are described against a backdrop of the prior scientific
state of the art in his various fields of achievement. Particular
emphasis is placed on Galileo's vision of the world in relation to
historic and also future cosmological models. The impact of his
discoveries and theories for the later development of physics and
astronomy is a further focus of the narrative.
