Dava Sobel, "Galileo’s Daughter: A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith, and Love"
English | ISBN: 0802713432 | | 384 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Inspired by a long fascination with Galileo, and by the remarkable surviving letters of Galileo’s daughter, a cloistered nun, Dava Sobel has written a biography unlike any other of the man Albert Einstein called "the father of modern physics- indeed of modern science altogether." Galileo’s Daughter also presents a stunning portrait of a person hitherto lost to history, described by her father as "a woman of exquisite mind, singular goodness, and most tenderly attached to me."
