330|  |▼aIn every age there are coura-
   |  |geous people who break with tr-
   |  |adition to explore new ideas a-
   |  |nd challenge accepted truths. -
   |  |Galileo Galilei was just such -
   |  |a man, a genius, and the first-
   |  | to turn the telescope to the -
   |  |skies to map the heavens. In d-
   |  |oing so, he offered objective -
   |  |evidence that the earth was no-
   |  |t the fixed center of the univ-
   |  |erse but that it and all the o-
   |  |ther planets revolved around t-
   |  |he sun. Galileo kept careful n-
   |  |otes and made beautiful drawin-
   |  |gs of all that he observed. Th-
   |  |rough his telescope he brought-
   |  | the stars down to earth for e-
   |  |veryone to see. By changing th-
   |  |e way people saw the galaxy, G-
   |  |alileo was also changing the w-
   |  |ay they saw themselves and the-
   |  |ir place in the universe. This-
   |  | was very exciting, but to som-
   |  |e to some it was deeply distur-
   |  |bing. Galileo has upset the ha-
   |  |rmonious view of heaven and ea-
   |  |rth that had been accepted sin-
   |  |ce ancient times. He had turne-
   |  |d the world upside down. In th-
   |  |is amazing new book, Peter Sis-
   |  | employs the artist\'s lens to -
   |  |give us an extraordinary view -
   |  |of the life of Galileo Galilei-
   |  |. Sis tells his story in langu-
   |  |age as simple as a fairy tale,-
   |  | in pictures as rich and tight-
   |  |ly woven as a tapestry, and in-
   |  | Galileo\'s own words, written -
   |  |more than 350 years ago and st-
   |  |ill resonant with truth. - -Pu-
