Best known for perfecting the telescope and challenging the Church's authority in scientific matters, Galileo also invented the thermoscope and built the geometric and military compass during a career which laid the foundations of modern physics. In Renaissance Genius David Whitehouse tells the story of this remarkable life, from the influence of Galileo's father on his early experiments to his discovery of Jupiter's moons, his support for Copernicus' doctrines and his final years under the ignominy of house arrest.
