Galileo: The Telescope

Galileo & The Telescope by JD Arden cuts through reverence and rumor to reveal the man at the razor edge of discovery and doctrine. He was equal parts showman, scientist, and stubborn rebel-someone who trained a crude lens on the heavens and, in doing so, aimed the light at earthly power. Arden's prose is exacting, urgent, and humane, tracing the experiments, public performances, and moral stakes that turned a tool into a provocation and a private conviction into history.

This is a history of ideas made vivid. Expect clear-eyed scenes of observation, the friction between evidence and authority, and an unflinching portrait of courage when truth collides with institutions. No technical overload, no hagiography-just a sharp, human account of how one telescope changed what we dare to see and who gets to decide the rules of the universe.
