During those years, Drake published sixteen books on Galileo, including translations of almost all the major writings, and Galileo at Work, the most comprehensive study of Galileo's life and works ever written. Drake also published about 130 papers, of which nearly 100 are on Galileo and the rest on related aspects of the history and philosophy of science. The three-volume collection \u003ci\u003eEssays on Galileo and the History and Philosophy of Science\u003c\/i\u003e includes 80 of those papers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the papers included in Volume III, Drake explores some of the more technical and practical aspects of Galileo's work, focusing on his contributions to scientific instrumentation. The essays then turn to the history of science, demonstrating the breadth of Drake's interests both beyond and relating to the work of Galileo. These interests are again evident in the final papers in the collection, in which Drake writes on the philosophy of science and language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection draws to conclusion Drake's writings on Galileo, capturing the influences and themes in Galileo's life and work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stillman Drake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802081657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802081650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.12h x 6.04w x 1.20d","brand":"Stillman Drake","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443693498623,"sku":"9780802081650","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4bd75796-0620-4aef-8151-3b21ea91c20c.jpg?v=1777207185","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/essays-on-galileo-and-the-stillman-drake-9780802081650","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
