Hardback. Condition: New. Between 1608 and 1610 the canopy of the night sky changed forever, ripped open by an object created almost by accident: a cylinder with lenses at both ends. Galileo's Telescope tells the story of how an ingenious optical device evolved from a toy-like curiosity into a precision scientific instrument, all in a few years. In transcending the limits of human vision, the telescope transformed humanity's view of itself and knowledge of the cosmos.Galileo plays a leading-but by no means solo-part in this riveting tale. He shares the stage with mathematicians, astronomers, and theologians from Paolo Sarpi to Johannes Kepler and Cardinal Bellarmine, sovereigns such as Rudolph II and James I, as well as craftsmen, courtiers, poets, and painters. Starting in the Netherlands, where a spectacle-maker created a spyglass with the modest magnifying power of three, the telescope spread like technological wildfire to Venice, Rome, Prague, Paris, London, and ultimately India and China. Galileo's celestial discoveries-hundreds of stars previously invisible to the naked eye, lunar mountains, and moons orbiting Jupiter-were announced to the world in his revolutionary treatise Sidereus Nuncius.Combining science, politics, religion, and the arts, Galileo's Telescope rewrites the early history of a world-shattering innovation whose visual power ultimately came to embody meanings far beyond the science of the stars.

Condition: NUOVO. Firenze, Olschki Ed. cm.17x24, ppXVI-212 con 13 figg. n.t. brossura Collana Biblioteca di Nuncius, Studi e Testi,LXIV. Sono ricostruiti i percorsi seguiti dalle idee meccaniche e cosmologiche nel periodo intercorrente tra la prima esposizione della teoria eliocentrica nel De revolutionibus di Copernico (1543) e la presentazione di una nuova meccanica nei Principia mathematica di Isaac Newton (1687). Nella I parte si individuano gli elementi di permanenza e quelli di trasformazione operanti dal Medioevo in avanti; nella II, la prima accoglienza riservata all'opera di Copernico; nella III, le differenti interazioni fra cosmologia e nuova scienza del moto. A reconstruction of the paths followed by mechanical and cosmological ideas in the period between the appearance of heliocentrism in De Revolutionibus of Copernicus (1543) and the presentation of new mechanics in Principia mathematica of Isaac Newton (1687). The first part identifies factors of both permanence and transformation from the Middle Ages onwards, the second part focuses on the early reception of Copernicus while the third is devoted to different interactions between cosmology and the new science of motion.

Brossura. Condition: new. Proceedings of International Conference, Florence, January 29 - January 31, 2020.Edited by Bucciantini M.English Text.Firenze, 2021; paperback, pp. 504, ill., cm 17x24.(Biblioteca di "Galilaeana". 10). L'ampia circolazione del nome di Galileo non è circoscrivibile solo agli ambienti filosofico-scientifici. La sua notorietà ha un impatto molto più ampio e contribuisce ad alimentare discussioni e controversie sia sul versante religioso sia su quello politico. Questo vasto campo di studi risulta in larga misura ancora inesplorato. Lo scopo di questo libro è quello di affrontare alcuni grandi temi legati alla figura di Galileo e alla sua complessa e spesso controversa eredità. Un'eredità che ha segnato in profondità il nostro continente e fa ancora oggi di Galileo uno dei più autentici ispiratori dell'identità europea. Libro.

Condition: NUOVO. Torino, Einaudi cm.15,5x23,5, pp.252, legatura editoriale cartonata, sopraccoperta figurata a colori. Milano, 21 aprile 1963. Una domenica sera. Sul palcoscenico del Piccolo Teatro una compagnia di oltre quarantacinque attori, un coro di bambini, e poi mimi, acrobati e un nano mettevano in scena Vita di Galileo di Bertolt Brecht con la regia di Giorgio Strehler. Era la prima volta che veniva rappresentata in Italia. Preceduto da prove interminabili che portarono alla chiusura del teatro per quaranta giorni, lo spettacolo durò oltre cinque ore e venne salutato da interminabili applausi. Ma fu molto più di una rappresentazione teatrale. In quelle settimane accorati appelli giunsero all'arcivescovo di Milano perché intervenisse a mettere fine a quello che veniva considerato uno scandalo. Tant'è che in alcune chiese gruppi di fedeli organizzarono perfino delle veglie nel tentativo di esorcizzarlo. Tutto ciò accadeva in una delle città più innovative d'Europa, crocevia di idee, volano della crescita economica italiana e laboratorio politico, dove a partire dal 1960 si stava sperimentando la prima giunta di centro-sinistra. Dentro a questo scenario un poeta e scrittore come Brecht e una figura-mito come Galileo, simbolo della battaglia per la libertà della scienza, svolsero un ruolo di primo piano. Un Galileo a Milano, dunque. Ovvero quello di Bertolt Brecht. Anzi, per essere più precisi, di Strehler e Brecht. Perché accanto a Brecht è soprattutto Strehler - e con lui Paolo Grassi - il protagonista di questo libro.
