Veteran literary journalist Wade Rowland takes one of the modern world's most influential myths -- the epic confrontation of physicist and astronomer Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642) with the Church of Rome -- and turns it on its head.
Wade Rowland is the author of more than a dozen books, including Galileo's Mistake, Spirit of the Web, and Ockham's Razor. He is a former holder of the Maclean Hunter Chair of Ethics in Communications at Ryerson University in Toronto and currently lectures in the social history of communications technologies at Trent University in Peterborough. He lives near Port Hope, Ontario, with his wife, Christine.
