Description
Galileo Galilei's Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences appeared in English in 1914, translated by Henry Crew and Alfonso de Salvio. Galileo wrote the Two New Sciences at the end of his life, under house arrest after his trial. It was his final masterpiece, printed in Holland in 1638.
Two sciences anchor the book: the strength of materials and the motion of bodies. Galileo set out the laws of falling bodies and of projectiles, the base of modern mechanics. The form is a dialogue among three speakers across four days. This translation made the founding text of modern physics widely readable in English, notes and all, for students of science.
