Galileo and His Judges

"Galileo and His Judges" by F. R. Wegg-Prosser is an interesting take on the Italian forefather of modern science. As a non-scientist himself, Wegg-Prosser offers an every-day man's insight into the work, life, and times of one of the most important figures in history. The language isn't bogged down by technical vocabulary, thus it's easy for people both in and outside of the scientific and astronomy fields to understand, a fact that has made the book resonate with readers for years.
