One of the greateat scientists reveals his unique worldview!

In The Dialogue, Galileo Galilei - With clarity and an infectious sense of joy, he guides us through the understanding of what the world is and how it works.

Through these pages, the world radically shifted...on a fulcrum extending to the heavens, leveraged by one of the greatest intellectuals in human history!

Galileo’s Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, published in Florence in 1632, was the most proximate cause of his being brought to trial before the Inquisition. Using the dialogue form, a genre common in classical philosophical works, Galileo masterfully demonstrates the truth of the Copernican system over the Ptolemaic one, proving, for the first time, that the earth revolves around the sun. Its influence is incalculable. The Dialogue is not only one of the most important scientific treatises ever written, but a work of supreme clarity and accessibility, remaining as readable now as when it was first published. This edition uses the definitive text established by the University of California Press, in Stillman Drake’s translation, and includes a Foreword by Albert Einstein and a new Introduction by J. L. Heilbron.
