Description: This is a volume from the Notable Trials Library under the general editorship of Alan M Dershowitz who wrote a special introduction for this facsimile edition. This is a facsimile reprinting of a book published in 1989 by the University of California Press. Book design by Daniel B Bianchi and Selma Ordewer. From the introduction: ''Although its history is for more extensive than the history of free speech, Americans rarely read accounts of systematic censorship. The trial of Galileo Galilei for espousing the geokinetic theory of astronomy -- that the earth rotates on its own axis and circles the sun -- is a classic event in the history of censorship. This should be required reading for everyone who values freedom and fears censorship. The extraordinary virtue of this collection of documents is that is presents both sides of the dispute.''
