MAA Online book review columne, Alexander J. Hahn, October 2005
The complete review can be found here: http://www.maa.org/reviews/naessgalileo.html
[...] Atle Naess knows how to write a readable book. He wastes no time on padding. He weaves the history, the personalities and the technicalities together expertly, with a sure eye for an interesting detail and an ability to cut through the myths, propaganda and speculation that surround the Galileo case. [...] The aim of the book is a short introduction to introduce the man and whet the appetite for his ideas. It is a resounding success.
by James Franklin, Univ of New South Wales, Sydney Gazette, The Australian Mathematical Society, Volume 32, Number 4, 2005,

It is beautifully printed, attractively bound ... . Highly recommended." (Australian Physics, Vol. 42 (2), May/June, 2005)

The background of the build up to the trial with all the necessary detail is handled in a masterly manner ... . There are 13 pages of index and references which will allow the assiduous reader to delve further into the scientific life of seventeenth century Italy – a journey well worth making ... a book worth buying." (M. L. Perkins, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 90 (518), 2006)
"Galileo Galilei was not only one of the most outstanding 16th century scientists, but he also suffered for the last nine years of his life ... . This biography deals with both these aspects, making full use of recent historical research. Altogether is presents a rounded picture of his life in a highly readable account."
