Although almost everyone thinks he knows what Galileo did and what the Roman Church did to him and why, few people actually do. This work is a scientific biography, so it omits Galileo's relationships with his family, but his academic life fills these pages with color and intricate detail. Drake presents Galileo's careful work, as well as how it was received. Some scholars followed Galileo's evidence, but most did not. Galileo had more supporters in the Church, but not enough. The book is sometimes dense, but worth the effort.
