500    Peter Sís is an internationally acclaimed author, 
       illustrator and filmmaker. He was born in Brno, 
       Czechoslovakia and studied painting at the Academy of 
       Applied Arts in Prague and at the Royal College of Art in 
       London. He lives in New York. 
520    Describes the life and work of the courageous man who 
       changed the way people saw the galaxy, by offering 
       objective evidence that the earth was not the fixed center
       of the universe. 
520    In every age there are courageous people who break with 
       tradition to explore new ideas and challenge accepted 
       truths. Galileo Galilei was just such a man--a genius--and
       the first to turn the telescope to the skies to map the 
       heavens. In doing so, he offered objective evidence that 
       the earth was not the fixed center of the universe but 
       that it and all the other planets revolved around the sun.
       Galileo kept careful notes and made beautiful drawings of 
       all that he observed. Through his telescope he brought the
       starts down to earth for everyone to see. By changing the 
       way people saw the galaxy, Galileo was also changing the 
       way they saw themselves and their place in the universe. 
       This was very exciting, but to some to some it was deeply 
       disturbing. Galileo has upset the harmonious view of 
       heaven and earth that had been accepted since ancient 
       times. He had turned the world upside down. In this 
       amazing new book, Peter Sís employs the artist's lens to 
       give us an extraordinary view of the life of Galileo 
       Galilei. Sís tells his story in language as simple as a 
       fairy tale, in pictures as rich and tightly woven as a 
       tapestry, and in Galileo's own words, written more than 
       350 years ago and still resonant with truth.
