From the international best-selling author of Longitude Galileo's Daughter is the fascinating story of the relationship between the great Italian scientist Galileo & 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 & discoveries were heralded around the world. His telescopes allowed him to reveal a new reality in the heavens & to defend the astounding proposition that the Earth actually moves around the Sun. For this belief he faced the Holy Office of the Inquisition & was subsequently tried for heresy & 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 & faith devoted to family & 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 & woven into Dava Sobel's compelling narrative. Galileo's Daughter tells the story of the most dramatic collision in history between science & religion. Dava Sobel illuminates an entire era when the flamboyant Medici Grand Dukes became Galileo's patrons when the Bubonic plague destroyed a generation & 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 & unforgettable story. ...

The Ottoman Army won a historic victory over the Allied forces at Gallipoli in 1915. This was one of the most decisive & clear-cut campaigns of the Great War. Yet the performance of the Ottomans the victors has often received less attention than that of the Allied army they defeated. Edward Erickson in this perceptive new study concentrates on the Ottoman side of the campaign. He looks in detail at the Ottoman Army
- at its structure tactics & deployment
- & at the conduct of the commanders who served it so well. His pioneering work complements the extensive literature on other aspects of the Gallipoli battle in particular those accounts that have focused on the experience of the British Australians & New Zealanders. This highly original reassessment of the campaign will be essential reading for students of the Great War especially the conflict in the Middle East.
