{"id":7467543560417,"title":"Galileo's Daughter : A Drama of Science, Faith and Love","handle":"galileos-daughter-a-drama-of-science-faith-and-love","description":"From the international best-selling author of Longitude, Galileo's Daughter is the fascinating story of the relationship between the great Italian scientist Galileo and his daughter, Virginia. Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was the foremost scientist of his day, 'the father of modern physics -- indeed of modern science altogether' in the words of Albert Einstein. Though he never left the Italy of his birth, his inventions and discoveries were heralded around the world. His telescopes allowed him to reveal a new reality in the heavens and to defend the astounding proposition that the Earth actually moves around the Sun. For this belief he faced the Holy Office of the Inquisition and was subsequently tried for heresy and threatened with torture. Galileo is brought to life here as never before -- a man boldly compelled to explain the truths he discovered, human in his frailties and faith, devoted to family and, especially, to his daughter. Since there could be no hope of marriage for his illegitimate daughter Galileo placed her, aged thirteen, in a convent near him in Florence. She proved to be his greatest source of strength through his most difficult years. Through letters, contemporary writings, their voices are brought to vivid life and woven into Dava Sobel's compelling narrative. Galileo's Daughter tells the story of the most dramatic collision in history between science and religion. Dava Sobel illuminates an entire era, when the flamboyant Medici Grand Dukes became Galileo's patrons, when the Bubonic plague destroyed a generation and prayer was the most effective medicine, when one man fought to reconcile the Heaven he revered as a good Catholic with the heavens he revealed through his telescope. Galileo's Daughter is a rich and unforgettable story.","published_at":"2021-12-01T22:13:11+00:00","created_at":"2021-12-01T22:13:11+00:00","vendor":"Sobel, Dava","type":"","tags":[],"price":295,"price_min":295,"price_max":295,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42119857340641,"title":"Harpercollins Pub Ltd \/ 2000 \/ 502","option1":"Harpercollins Pub Ltd","option2":"2000","option3":"502","sku":"9781857027129","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Galileo's Daughter : A Drama of Science, Faith and Love - Harpercollins Pub Ltd \/ 2000 \/ 502","public_title":"Harpercollins Pub Ltd \/ 2000 \/ 502","options":["Harpercollins Pub Ltd","2000","502"],"price":295,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8668\/products\/9781857027129-us.jpg?v=1638396791"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8668\/products\/9781857027129-us.jpg?v=1638396791","options":["Publisher","Published Date","Location"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":28798073372897,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.608,"height":500,"width":304,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8668\/products\/9781857027129-us.jpg?v=1638396791"},"aspect_ratio":0.608,"height":500,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8668\/products\/9781857027129-us.jpg?v=1638396791","width":304}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"From the international best-selling author of Longitude, Galileo's Daughter is the fascinating story of the relationship between the great Italian scientist Galileo and his daughter, Virginia.

When he was seventeen, his father and mother ran away from him - his mother was sent to jail for tax evasion, father for murder.

He has literally run away from the troubled relationship with Jo, the mother of two of his children - his hobby is partly responsible for the breakdown of their relationship as it begins to take over his life.

Poitier credits his childhood of poverty on idyllic Cat Island in the Bahamas for equipping him with the unflinching sense of self-worth, family values, and simple ethics that he has never since surrendered and that have dramatically shaped his world. Just a few years after his introduction to indoor plumbing and the automobile, Poitier broke countless barriers to launch a pioneering career portraying important, dignified characters in some of the most morally significant films of the late 20th century. Drawing on his personal journey, Poitier explores such themes as sacrifice and commitment, pride and humility, rage and survival, and paying the price for artistic integrity. His engaging memoir spans a time in history from Jim Crow segregation through the early Civil Rights conflicts to present-day cultural struggles and spiritual seeking. Poitier shares his provocative thoughts on racism in Hollywood, consumerism and the media, child-rearing, illness and mortality, honoring a higher consciousness, and realizing how fully a part of \"the grand scheme\" each of us is.

They were all former students whom she had taught at university. Some came from conservative and religious families, others were progressive and secular; several had spent time in jail. Shy and uncomfortable at first, they soon began to open up and speak more freely, not only about the novels they were reading but also about themselves, their dreams and disappointments. Their stories intertwined with those they were reading - \"Pride and Prejudice\", \"Washington Square\", \"Daisy Miller\" and \"Lolita\" - their Lolita, as they imagined her in Tehran. Nafisi's account flashes back to the early days of the revolution when she first started teaching at the University of Tehran amid the swirl of protests and demonstrations.

They were all former students whom she had taught at university. Some came from conservative and religious families, others were progressive and secular; several had spent time in jail. Shy and uncomfortable at first, they soon began to open up and speak more freely, not only about the novels they were reading but also about themselves, their dreams and disappointments. Their stories intertwined with those they were reading - \"Pride and Prejudice\", \"Washington Square\", \"Daisy Miller\" and \"Lolita\" - their Lolita, as they imagined her in Tehran. Nafisi's account flashes back to the early days of the revolution when she first started teaching at the University of Tehran amid the swirl of protests and demonstrations. In those frenetic days, the students took control of the university, expelled faculty members and purged the curriculum. Azar Nafisi's luminous tale offers a portrait of the Iran-Iraq war viewed from Tehran and gives us a glimpse, from the inside, of women's lives in revolutionary Iran."}

Sir Alex announced his retirement as manager of Manchester United after 27 years in the role. \r\n\r\nHe has gone out in a blaze of glory, with United winning the Premier League for the 13th time, and he is widely considered to be the greatest manager in the history of British soccer. Over the last quarter of a century there have been seismic changes at Manchester United, with the only constant element the quality of the manager's league-winning squad and United's run of success, which included winning the Champions League for a second time in 2008. Sir Alex created a purposeful, but welcoming, and much envied culture at the club which has lasted the test of time. \r\n\r\nHe discusses managing these seismic changes, and the growth of Man U as a global sports power. He shares the farewells to Roy Keane and David Beckham, describes the process of building a new Champions League side around Ronaldo and Rooney, and ruminates upon the great rivalries with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and City.
