Few figures in the history of science are as fascinating, colourful, complicated, and controversial as Galileo Galilei (1564-1642). We consider his life and science, its intellectual and historical context, and the myths around the controversy between Galileo and the Church. Galileo was one of the most interesting thinkers of all time: influential, polemical, temperamental and inspiring.
