Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. From the beginning of Galileo?s career, well before the publication of the Sidereus Nuncius, his contemporaries took pains to shape his reputation and fame. They were fully aware that their efforts would shape the course of his career; they also knew that they would profit from helping him. With this book, Anna-Luna Post offers a welcome new perspective on the volatile dynamic between early modern fame and science in Italy, shifting the focus from the recipient of fame to its brokers. Galileo?s contemporaries knew his rise to fame was not a matter of course. Not only were his discoveries highly contested, he was also not the first to turn his telescope to the night sky. Yet, of the men who first observed the rugged lunar surface and Jupiter?s four largest moons between the summer of 1609 and the winter of 1610, Galileo is the only one who achieved both widespread fame and posthumous glory. Rather than the direct result of merit or extraordinary achievements, fame, Post ultimately reveals, is shaped through human intervention. Artikel-Nr. 00106684682
