WHO WAS GALILEO? - PATRICIA BRENNAN DEMUTH KART...

Like Michelangelo  Galileo is another Renaissance great known just by his first name--a name
that is synonymous with scientific achievement. Born in Pisa  Italy  in the sixteenth century 
Galileo contributed to the era's great rebirth of knowledge. He invented a telescope to observe
the heavens. From there  not even the sky was the limit! He turned long-held notions about the
universe topsy turvy with his support of a sun-centric solar system. Patricia Brennan Demuth
offers a sympathetic portrait of a brilliant man who lived in a time when speaking scientific
truth to those in power was still a dangerous proposition.
