"Finocchiaro has done a superb job of presenting Galileo to the modern reader. The "Dialogue is a work of extreme difficulty, requiring a compendious introduction, careful selection, translation and analysis of texts, and thoughtful evaluation of its impact on Western culture. With his well-known logical ability and a feel for pedagogy rare among scholars, Finocchiaro meets these demands in an exceptional way. His is a classic introduction to Galileo's masterpiece."--William A. Wallace, author of "Galileo's Logic of Discovery and Proof
"I recommend "Galileo on the World Systems for any course on Galileo. The introduction does a fine job of situating the book in the intellectual climate of the time, and the notes make Galileo's prose and arguments thoroughly accessible."--Albert Van Helden, translator of Galileo's "Sidereus Nuncius
