Description

Here is a man with an imagination so large that just "by thinking on it", a he invented calculus and figured out the scientific explanation of gravity. Yet Newton was so small-minded that he tried to destroy other scientists who dared question his findings and spent much time trying to predict the future and unlock the secret of turning base metals into gold in an alchemy lab. Kathleen Krull presents a compelling portrait of Isaac Newton that will challenge your beliefs about a genius whose amazing discoveries changed the world.
