### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    the problems of having a big ego
  

*by W***N on June 18, 2018*









  
  
    Fascinating study of Galileo and his times. Builds a wonderful picture of the complexity associated with how Aristotle's philosophy was embedded in Church dogma and how the political shenanigans involved brought about the stresses associated with the new science. Pope Urban turns out to be the smartest guy in this story and closer to contemporary Model Dependent Realists than Galileo who is the traditional hero. In this biography he turns out to be more of the blundering ox that insists on his interpretation regardless of the hurt feelings he causes. Ego is a major factor. Very interesting read.

    Galileo
  

*by J***E on March 13, 2013*









  
  
    I read primarily historical biography. I enjoy seeing historical/political context to a subject and how that subject related to that environment. I liked this book, but found so much of the scientific detailed explanations excessive for my interests as a general reader. I thoroughly enjoyed reading of the conclusions made by clergy and others who hung onto tradition. I liked understanding Galileo's personality. But I really wanted to see more of the geo-politics of that period, the transitions into Renaissance, etc. I am glad I read this book. It was enlightening. But it was a chore.Galileo

    Spectacular history
  

*by R***G on December 19, 2012*









  
  
    An erudite, witty tour of the times, life, and meaning of Galileo. Heilbron brings a career's worth of knowledge and insight to the task, and we get a richly evoked picture of a pivotal time in the early modern era. Readers unfamiliar with the science may find themselves skipping diagrams and explication, but they will not be missing the author's fundamental points. It's not a beginner's introduction to history, but anyone appreciative of serious research and good writing will enjoy this book.
