"World History Biographies: Galileo: The Genius Who Faced the Inquisition" by Philip Steele explores the life and legacy of Galileo Galilei, a brilliant scientist and astronomer who challenged the conventional wisdom of his time. The biography details Galileo's groundbreaking discoveries, such as his observations of celestial bodies and his support for the heliocentric model of the solar system. However, his revolutionary ideas brought him into conflict with the Catholic Church, ultimately leading to his trial and condemnation by the Inquisition. Through Galileo's story, readers learn about the struggles between faith and science, and the enduring impact of his contributions to modern science.
