I, GALILEO

Book ID/图书代码： 14320212B54003

English Summary/英文概要： Acclaimed author-illustrator Bonnie Christensen adopts the voice of Galileo and lets him tell his own tale in this outstanding picture book biography. The first person narration gives this book a friendly, personal feel that makes Galileo’s remarkable achievements and ideas completely accessible to young readers. And Christensen’s artwork glows with the light of the stars he studied.

Galileo’s contributions were so numerous—the telescope! the microscope!—and his ideas so world-changing—the sun-centric solar system!—that Albert Einstein called him "the father of modern science." But in his own time he was branded a heretic and imprisoned in his home. He was a man who insisted on his right to pursue the truth, no matter what the cost—making his life as interesting and instructive as his ideas.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 著名的插画作家Bonnie Christensen借用伽利略的声音，让这位著名的意大利物理及天文学家通过这部精美的画册讲述自己的故事。第一人称的叙述，赋予这本书一种切身的感受，使得伽利略非凡成就和理念能够完全被青少年读者所接受。而作者Christensen的艺术插花也令这位著名的物理天文学家的研究增色不少。

伽利略的贡献是如此之多-望远镜！显微镜！-还有他的想法-以太阳为中心的太阳系！-爱因斯坦称他为“现代科学之父”。但在他所处的那个时代，他被打上异教徒的烙印，被关在家里。他是一个坚持自己追求真理的权利的人，不管付出多少代价-使他的生活像他的思想一样有趣和富有启发性。(Sandy)
