Description - Newton's Notebook: The Life, Times and Discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton by Joel Levy
Newton's Notebook is a biography of the great man, but a biography with a difference. As you would expect, it provides a full and detailed account of Newton's life and discoveries, but it is written, designed and illustrated to look like, as the title suggests, a personal notebook or journal. By mining the rich sources of his own journals and incorporating a wide range of quotations and primary sources, Newton's Notebook brings its subject to life more vividly than any ordinary history book or biography, revealing the man who discovered gravity. Additional chapters examine Newton's early life and education, his achievements in mathematics and optics, the publication of the Principia and the long-term impact of his revolutionary theories. AUTHOR: Joel Levy is the author of many books focusing on science and history, including 'The Bedside Book of Chemistry' and 'A Bee in a Cathedral'. He has also written for the national press, and has featured on television and radio shows.
