This is a history book about religion, the history of science, injustice and persecution. Considering my background this was always going to be a good the book for me. Having said that; the biography of a relatively little known natural philospher who was persecuted by the Inquisition has the potential to be extremely dry and long.

Thankfully it wasn't. Michael White may not have the most balanced approach to his writing (think of this more of a biography than a historical examination) but it is very readble. He uses enough first hand sources to help get a real sense of what it might have been like while being honest about where there are gaps in the record and where he is speculating. If you're vaguely interested in any of the above, hopefully you might find this an interesting read as well.

So off it goes from my shelf and hope it finds a good temporary home somewhere else.
