Amazon provides this summary:
Inspired by a long fascination with Galileo, and by the remarkable surviving letters of Galileo's daughter, a cloistered nun, Dava Sobel has written a biography unlike any other of the man Albert Einstein called "the father of modern physics- indeed of modern science altogether." Galileo's Daughter also presents a stunning portrait of a person hitherto lost to history, described by her father as "a woman of exquisite mind, singular goodness, and most tenderly attached to me."There are copies in the library. 384 pages. It is classified as Biography.
Our December meeting is after Christmas, on December 27th. Denise will provide food/snacks, Rachel will bring book selections, and Lisa will facilitate our discussion of Galileo's Daughter.
