Galileo’s Pendulum: From the Rhythm of Time to the Making of Matter
Roger G. Newton
Newton sets the stage for Galileo’s discovery with a look at biorhythms in living organisms and at early calendars and clocks—contrivances of nature and culture that, however adequate in their time, did not meet the precise requirements of seventeenth-century science and navigation.
