Synopsis

Galileo Galilei believed in the power of scientific observation over traditional ideas. His close study of the night sky helped support the theory that planets move around the sun. His defiant personality made him powerful enemies. This graphic biography covers Galilei's life from his early work with projectiles to his revolutionary look at the cosmos. It also depicts the backlash to his bold ideas and his trial under the Inquisition.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Remo

Parecía difícil meter en un cómic corto la complejidad de la vida de Galileo, pero en éste está casi todo. Me ha encantado la insistencia con que se muestra el afán de Galileo de "comprobarlo todo, no fiarnos de lo que nos cuentan". Muy divertido, muy entretenido y muy bien hecho. Para niños y mayor......more

Better than other books in the series; still a bit choppy......more
