Dialogue concerning the Two Chief World Systems, Ptolemaic & Copernican;. Berkeley: University of California, 1953. Print. Possibly Galileo's most famous publication, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems was the astronomers last protest against the Catholic Church. His book directly compared the heliocentric and geocentric systems. Translated by Drake Stillman, the book gave me a source that directly displayed Galileo's beliefs. Galilei, Galileo. Discoveries and Opinions of Galileo. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1957. Print. This book contained a direct translation of The Assayer by Galileo. He wrote this book to disprove the Jesuit theory on comets. I found this source significant because it strengthened his relationship with Cardinal Francesco Barberini who later became Pope Urban VIII and became involved in many of Galileos future endeavors. Galilei, Galileo. "Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina of Tuscany." Letter to Grand Duchess Christina. 1615. Fordham University. Web. 27 Oct. 2011. <http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/galileo-tuscany.asp>. This website contained a direct translation of Galileo's Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina. I found this source important because it is his written argument on the separation of science and scriptures. He explains to the Grand Duchess why the Copernican theory must be a reality, which led the Church to condemn Galileo as a heretic. Galilei, Galileo. Sidereus Nuncius, Or, The Sidereal Messenger. Chicago: University of Chicago, 1989. Print. This book is a direct translation of Galileo's Starry Messenger, published by

Raihan 2 Albert Van Helden. It contained Galileo's earlier telescopic observations of the Moon, the stars, and the satellites of Jupiter. Using Galileo's direct publication introduced a new aspect to my project because it gave me a primary source directly from Galileo to support my thesis "Interview with Dava Sobel." E-mail interview. 15 Jan. 2012. This interview with Dava Sobel, author of Galileo's Daughter, gave me a very good description of how Galileo impacted society, specifically other scientists around him. Having an experts point of view on Galileo gave my website substance, as well as a detailed explanation of the influence Galileo had on society and the Church.

A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes. Toronto: Bantam, 1988. 115-116-79-180. Print. In this book Stephen Hawking explains what impact Galileo had on him, having been born exactly 300 years after his death. Hawking describes his view on Galileo and his trouble with the Catholic Church, as well as providing key information on his long term impact on science.

Raihan 4 Sobel, Dava. Galileo's Daughter. New York: Walker &, 1999. Print. Sobel's book helped me by giving me a new perspective on Galileo.
