Just looking at this distinct animal raises many scientific questions. With regard to evolution, how did such an animal come to be? How does a snake move, and how do its sense organs differ from that of other reptiles? How does it eat, and how does it reproduce? Essentially, how does a snake ""work""?

Letters of Margherita Sarrocchi and Galileo (With Three Related Letters) . 330 $aThis book examines a pivotal moment in the history of science and women?s place in it. Meredith Ray offers the first in-depth study and complete English translation of the fascinating correspondence between Margherita Sarrocchi (1560-1617), a natural philosopher and author of the epic poem, Scanderbeide (1623), and famed astronomer, Galileo Galilei. Their correspondence, undertaken soon after the publication of Galileo?s Sidereus Nuncius, reveals how Sarrocchi approached Galileo for his help revising her epic poem, offering, in return, her endorsement of his recent telescopic discoveries. Situated against the vibrant and often contentious backdrop of early modern intellectual and academic culture, their letters illustrate, in miniature, that the Scientific Revolution was, in fact, the product of a long evolution with roots in the deep connections between literary and scientific exchanges. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Literature, Science and Medicine,$x2634-6443 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aEuropean literature$yRenaissance, 1450-1600 606 $aSex 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aPoetry 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aAstronomy, Cosmology and Space Sciences 606 $aPoetry and Poetics 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aEuropean literature 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aPoetry. 615 14$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aAstronomy, Cosmology and Space Sciences. 615 24$aPoetry and Poetics. 676 $a851.5 700 $aRay$b Meredith K$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058277 701 $aSarrocchi$b Margherita$fapproximately 1560-1617.$01158949 701 $aGalilei$b Galileo$f1564-1642.$04160 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255252703321 996 $aMargherita Sarrocchi's Letters to Galileo$92895355 997 $aUNINA
