DESCRIPTION:His final work\, the scribbles of an old and broken man publis
 hing stuff he had done more than 40 years before ... or NOT\, as the case 
 may be. A technical treaties on the new mathematical sciences of strength 
 of materials and projectile motion\, this is Galileo as polemicist at his 
 most subtle\, and to his readers in the middle decades of the 17th century
 \, most persuasive. Once unpacked\, this work is revealed to be so clever 
 it will make your toes curl.
