Not just an excellent new translation of the work for which Galileo was
convicted of heresy, Galileo on the World Systems is a judicious abridgement
laced with informative footnotes, in tune with the needs of the 1990s reader. As
a bonus, editor and translator Maurice Finocchiaro provides a clear account of
Galileo’s trial. Published by University of California Press, $19.95,
ISBN 0 520 20646 0.
