Galileo on the World Systems: A New Abridged Translation and Guide Paperback - 1997
by Galileo Galilei; Maurice A. Finocchiaro (Editor); Maurice A. Finocchiaro (Translator)
From the rear cover
"This is a very creative piece of work which merits the highest praise. It should be of great value for students and for the general reader."--I. Bernard Cohen, author of Guide to Newton's "Principia"
"Finocchiaro has done a superb job of presenting Galileo to the modern reader. The Dialogue is a work of extreme difficulty, requiring a compendious introduction, careful selection, translation and analysis of texts, and thoughtful evaluation of its impact on Western culture. With his well-known logical ability and a feel for pedagogy rare among scholars, Finocchiaro meets these demands in an exceptional way. His is a classic introduction to Galileo's masterpiece."--William A. Wallace, author of Galileo's Logic of Discovery and Proof
"I recommend Galileo on the World Systems for any course on Galileo. The introduction does a fine job of situating the book in the intellectual climate of the time, and the notes make Galileo's prose and arguments thoroughly accessible."--Albert Van Helden, translator of Galileo's Sidereus Nuncius
