Galileo's Daughter

"...showing once again her keen eye for the compelling stories that simmer beneath great discoveries, [Sobel] turns this seemingly meager material into genuine historical drama....The book is most remarkable for its graceful combination of scholarly integrity and rhapsodic tone. Sobel imbues this potentially dry, academic story with the language and cadence of oral storytelling, and she gives it all the dramatic suspense that narrative demands."Dava Sobel is the author of 'Galileo's Daughter', published 2005 under ISBN 9780739322901 and ISBN 0739322907.
