Starry Messenger
by Peter Sis
Farrar, Straus & Giroux, Incorporated
Using his dual talents as illustrator and storyteller, Sis pays homage to Galileo, the great seventeenth-century mathematician and astronomer. Sis's extraordinary maps and vistas of Renaissance times, together with artistically rendered quotes from the astronomer and other famous scholars, powerfully evoke Galileo's world.
