Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The incredible life and death of Galileo, the first scientist, as his new telescope encapsulates all the contradictions of the emerging reality. Published to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the invention of the telescope, and an exhibition in Florence of objects associated with Galileo, including, gruesomely enough, his finger.
