DescriptionSir Isaac Newton formulated the concept of gravity, devised a radically new theory of light, and created a calculus that revolutionized mathematics. Join him for a mind-expanding tour of the principles of modern science! You'll discover that there was far more to Sir Isaac than his great discoveries. Michael White, author of an award-winning biography of Newton, captures the essence of this prickly genius.
ReviewsA fictionalised interview with one of the greatest scientific minds in history. The man who invented the cat flap, the slightly smaller cat flap, and superstitiously claimed there were 7 colours in the visible spectrum because 6 is an unlucky number. Oh and I usppose there was the whole gravity thing too if you want to focus on that. - Ciaran, The Book Grocer |
