Domine, da mihi hanc aquam!: Galileo was tortured and other myths about science and religion

Domine, da mihi hanc aquam!: Galileo was tortured and other myths about science and religion
I am happy to read that already a book on Galilean Myths are published. In my research at Harvard University for the book Galileo's Physics, Philosophy and Religion (which will be published by the end of the year in India) I found so many of such myths. After the 1933 condemnation as he come put of the Inquisition Chambers, placed his heels strongly on the ground and exclaimed "still it moves!"; then his eyes were gouged out from its sockets! many are such myths and happy to hear this book is published!
