The natural philosophy of Galileo
Cambridge, Mass.,: M.I.T. Press (1974)
Abstract
"This book tries to assess Galileo's work in its historical singularity. It is constructed around a precise question: How did Galileo create the modern science of motion? Starting from this question, I shall go on to determine as accurately as I can what concepts and methods helped classical mechanics to take shape." [Preface].Links
