ISBN10: 0297848682, ISBN13: 9780297848684, [publisher: Orion Publishing] Hardcover 304 pages. A giant of science, Galileo's achievements allow h im to be bracketed alongside Newton, Einstein, and Darwin. A devo ut Roman Catholic, his genius threw him into conflict with his Ch urch and his refusal to back down turned him into a martyr for ma ny. Here, bestselling author Michael White gets to grips with the man and the world he challenged. Both biography and exploration of a time when religious and scientific understanding had become deeply and dangerously intertwined, Galileo Antichrist traces the path that led to its subject's denunciation as a heretic. While it is perfectly possible to view Galileo's collision with the Cat holic Church as near inevitable, White draws on evidence recently discovered in the Vatican archives to question the accepted reas ons for his trial. In doing so he shows why Galileo became such a contentious figure that, centuries later, the Pope, then Cardina l Joseph Ratzinger, felt driven to declare the process against th e father of science as reasonable and just. Editorial Reviews A bout the Author Michael White was science editor of GQ and column ist for the Sunday Express. He is the author of several bestselli ng science biographies.
