Scientists Who Made History: Galileo Galilei by Mike Goldsmith

This title describes the life and career of the early seventeenth century Italian scientist Galileo Galilei, who caused a revolution in the study of physics and astronomy with his pioneering discoveries, changing forever our view of the Universe, and leading him into confrontation with the powerful Catholic Church.
A superb series..These books would be excellent both for a library and for children and teachers to read as part of a science course. * TES *
