Galileo is aptly known as 'the father of modern science'. But there is much more to him than his well-known discoveries in physics and astronomy, and his infamous clash with the Catholic church. John Heilbron's biography presents a multi-talented but difficult man - writer, philosopher, scientist, musician, and artist.
