SPCK Publishing Rocky Road to Galileo
Book SynopsisOn this adventure travel from the Islamic Golden Age to the Renaissance and meet Galileo along the way!Trade ReviewA witty and accessible treasure trove of scientific discoveries that goes to the heart of our human quest to understand who we are. This book doesn't dumb down or gloss over imponderables but will leave you marvelling at the science and asking for more. -- Professor Rebecca FitzgeraldThe brilliant and entertaining illustrations in this series enliven a clear and enjoyable text that should stimulate serious thought about the world and our place in it. -- Lord Rees, Astronomer Royal, President of the Royal Society 2005-2010Too often science and faith are pitted against each other. This book breaks down that split in a creative and engaging way. It shows the scope of science in our lives and how the study of science and the study of God feed and magnify each other. Human beings have always been hungry for understanding and meaning, and this book beautifully shows how this has worked out from the earliest time. It is a book that leaves me in awe at the art of science: for the way it unveils the magnificence of God our Creator, who stretches out the canvas. -- Justin Welby, Archbishop of CanterburyHas the bug bitten you? Are you curious? Curious to know how the universe evolved from the Big Bang? How matter arranges itself into objects ranging from atomic nuclei to human beings, planets, and stars? Are you curious to know why all these things are the way they are? Science is good for the how questions but does not necessarily have the answers on the why questions. Can science and religion talk to each other? Enjoy this series and learn more about science and the enriching dialogue between science and faith. -- Prof Rolf Heuer, Director General of CERN from 2009 to 2015Here is a wonderful and wittily written introduction to science as the art of asking open questions and not jumping to conclusions. It's also an amusing excursion through evolution and anthropology which packs in a lot of learning with the lightest of touches. A much-needed antidote to the bludgeoning crudity of so much writing in both science and religion. -- Rev Dr Malcolm Guite, poet, singer-songwriter, priest, and academicTable of ContentsCONTENTSIntroduction 71 Milton Flies to the Rescue: the Islamic Golden Age 132 Off to Moorish Spain 313 Medieval Times: Good or Bad for Scientists? 384 Springtime in Paris 495 The Road Gets Rocky: New Ideas and the Black Death 626 Book a Place in History: Gutenberg, Copernicus, and Kepler 717 Shakespeare and Galileo: the Season Finale! 97
