Conversations with Galileo A Fictional Dialogue Based on Biographical Facts

This book is for people that know the name of Galileo Galilei and might remember some random facts but no details, who want to know more than is stated in his Wiki entry but doesn't want to read a full biography. So, for me actually! I finally learned (and will hopefully remember) that Copernicus was the first one who stated that the earth moves (around itself and also around the sun), but Galileo was the one that made that hypothesis well-known. But the famous revokement of his theories don't feature in this book at all (did it happen at all??), neither does his quote "And yet it moves". Probably also an urban legend. Instead the Roman inquisition put Galileo under house arrest and of course he wasn't allowed to publish anything that states his theories concerning the planetary movements. But he could continue his other science projects. For instance he also discovered that a heavy object fall with the same velocity as a light object. Until now I always thought that a heavy object would fall faster, but apparently that is not the case!
