Description

Isaac Newton was a man of remarkable genius who made his most significant contributions to science before the age of twenty-five. During a period of great isolation, he found himself in the prime of age for invention, as he wrote.

This biography sheds light on the life and work of one of history's greatest minds, revealing the unique brilliance of his perceptions that changed our understanding of the world forever. Newton's fascination with calculus, the planets, and the laws of motion was matched only by his passion for astrology and alchemy.
