{"product_id":"9781893122628","title":"Galileo","description":"The critics in both the conventional and academic press praised the   biography for its vibrant portrait of Galileo the man, its solid   accessible exposition of Galilean science as well as its dramatic   treatment of Galileo's clash with the Church over the issue of science   vs. faith.   \u003cp\u003e  The well-known historian of science, Owen Gingerich, of Harvard   University said of the book, \"James Reston, Jr. paints a vivid yet   sensitive portrait of Galileo: his effervescent friendships in the rich   intellectual milieu of the Venetian Republic, the brew of excitement and   egoistic paranoia that accompanied his astronomical discoveries with the   telescope, the annoyances of a derelict brother and the lawsuit over his   sister's dowry, the agony of the trip to Rome to face the Inquisition. It   is a dramatic story, often told, but never as compellingly as this.\"  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beard Group Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063025910000,"sku":"9781893122628","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781893122628_p0.jpg?v=1763609743","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781893122628","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
