Don't miss this one This is the one book I recommend to everyone, men and women, especially if you like historical biography. It is not fiction and it tells about Galileo's life from the letters written to him by his daughter, with the history being filled in by the author. While none of Galileo's letter survived, you feel as if you are there and part of the history as it is being made. It is very well written and you will enjoy reading it again.. J. K.
