X-WR-CALDESC:Inspired by a long fascination with Galileo\, and by the remar
 kable surviving letters of his daughter Maria Celeste\, a cloistered nun\,
  Dava Sobel has crafted a biography that dramatically recolors the persona
 lity and accomplishments of a mythic figure whose early-seventeenth-centur
 y clash with Catholic doctrine continues to define the schism between scie
 nce and religion-the man Albert Einstein called 'the father of modern phys
 ics-indeed of modern science altogether.' It is also a stunning portrait o
 f Galileo's daughter\, a person hitherto lost to history\, described by he
 r father as 'a woman of exquisite mind\, singular goodness\, and most tend
 erly attached to me.'\n\nMoving between Galileo's grand public life and Ma
 ria Celeste's sequestered world\, Sobel illuminates the Florence of the Me
 dicis and the papal court in Rome during the pivotal era when humanity's p
 erception of its place in the cosmos was about to be overturned. During th
 at same time\, while the bubonic plague wreaked its terrible devastation a
 nd the Thirty Years' War tipped fortunes across Europe\, Galileo sought to
  reconcile the Heaven he revered as a good Catholic with the heavens he re
 vealed through his telescope. Filled with human drama and scientific adven
 ture\, Galileo's Daughter is an unforgettable story.\n
