    Jeanne Bendick did it again
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2008*

Jeanne Bendick has a gift for making science, and scientists, lively.  And she uses that gift, in this book, to present Galileo as a curious, interesting, normal person -- an excellent role model for little scientists!What made Galileo so normal?  Well, he had problems at school -- his father wanted him to study things that didn't interest him.  He had money troubles trying to support his family, and he had to relocate for jobs.  He got stuck in the middle of a power struggle.  He had lots of houseguests, and even took in boarders.  He liked to show off (a little).  Kids can relate to all of that.What made Galileo extraordinary is the way he never gave up.  This book does a fine job demonstrating his pursuit of knowledge, his discoveries, and his inventions.My biggest concern was how the book would treat the church vs. science conflict -- it is so often framed as "backwards, repressive church squashes free-thinking genius."  Instead, that conflict is dealt with fairly and honestly.  The church was the political power of the day, there were factions, and Galileo was aligned with a faction.  The other faction used him as a flashpoint to pick apart the power of his faction, and he was stuck in the middle.I think the most fascinating section of the book dealt with Galileo's telescope and how he used it to study the night skies.  I liked the helpful warning on page 52: NEVER NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN...Throughout the book, Ms. Bendick's illustrations are clear and to-the-point.  The map on page 6 is very helpful through the whole book.  This book brings science to life, and I can't rate it highly enough.

    Another success
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2013*

Jeanne Bendick did it again.  This book, along with her other works, hit the spot for my nine year old son.  He enjoys learning about science and history.  Bendick always does a superb job creating interest, fun, and reality into her bios of great people.  Other historical biographies about scientists, mathematicians and the like do not always hold the attention of younger readers, but Bendick always does.

    Interesting, engaging, and light.

We already read thru Arcimedes and the Door of Science and Galen and the Gateway to Medicine.  This follows in their footsteps.  Bringing science to life!  My daughter and I love learning the history of the people who helped us understand the world.  Interesting, engaging, and light.
