Galileo Libri
Galileo Galilei fu una figura cardine della Rivoluzione Scientifica, il cui lavoro trasformò la nostra comprensione del cosmo e della fisica. Attraverso miglioramenti al telescopio e osservazioni astronomiche conseguenti, sostenne il modello copernicano, guadagnandosi il riconoscimento di 'padre dell'astronomia osservativa moderna' e 'padre della fisica moderna'. I suoi studi cinematici sul moto accelerato e le osservazioni di fenomeni celesti come le fasi di Venere e le lune di Giove posero le basi per l'indagine scientifica moderna. L'incrollabile sostegno di Galileo all'eliocentrismo, sebbene controverso, dimostrò il suo impegno verso l'evidenza empirica nonostante l'opposizione delle autorità costituite.
Presents Galileo's scientific treatise, originally published in 1632, in which he uses the dialogue form to argue the truth of the Copernican system over the Ptolemaic, proving that the Earth revolves around the sun
