Galileo's trial for heresy in 1633 was a turning point in the history of science. De Santillana and De Santillana argue convincingly that the charge against Galileo was not based on any scientific evidence, but on religious dogmas. This book is the story of Galileo's trial and the battle between science and religion.; 8vo; FSA.
