Shea, who has written previously about Galileo (1564-1642) as well as other figures in the history of science, introduces his translation of this tract with an essay on the invention of the telescope, the improvements and applications that Galileo was responsible for, and modern accounts of the discoveries that he explains in the treatise. These discoveries involved the surface of the Moon, the phases of Venus, the moons of Mars and Jupiter, and the nature of the Milky Way. Shea also provides extensive endnotes. Only names are indexed.
